Even though the Censor Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) has no objections with the contents of the film ' Dabangg 2 ', it has apparently asked the producer-director Arbaaz Khan to blur the national emblem in the film.
It was so that the national emblem of India on the wall of Chulbul Pandey police station was shown incorrectly. This can be a possible reason to cause discontent and hence to avoid that, that CBFC has asked them to blur it.
A source says, "Arbaaz took three cuts in Dabangg 2 voluntarily including a reference to the word 'dhobi' which he changed to 'dhodi' and 'prasad' for holy offering which has also been changed. But he was in a quandary regarding the national emblem. To re-shoot at that late stage would have been impossible. To delete all the shots where the emblem appears would have been impractical."
CBFC spokesperson Anjum Rajabali explained the intervention that, "The national emblem has to always be shown exactly as it is. This rule is governed by the National Emblem Act. It is likely that a minor visual inaccuracy occurs inadvertently sometimes. Hence the need to blur."
