Everyone had a high hopes when it was revealed that Pahlaj Nihalani is replaced by Prasoon Joshi as the new chief on Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)! But the hopes’ turning up in vain as is as nothing seems to have changed so far. As per the updates, the Hitman’s Bodyguard, an upcoming Hollywood action-comedy film starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson faced the heat from CBFC as 39 beeps and mutes were applied on the film as cussing words for Indian Audience should not be allowed to be in films. So Sanskari!

Of course, the film Hitman’s Bodyguard is already rated R in international market and marketed as it is. But it seems CBFC wouldn’t seems to update themselves to the trend that even general audience seems to have accepted and enjoyed a new era of R rated genre, despite gritty or gory violence or used of bold language or cussing. The release and success of Deadpool and Logan are the two bright examples that such movies can be viewed and enjoyed by the audience. And about Hitman’s Bodyguard, the cussing words and brash chemistry between main characters and if CBFC decided to blur that USP, then what's left in the film, which could entertain audience and especially fans who were eager to watch this film.

Though The Hitman’s Bodyguard is in the theatres near you and you can still get entertained with its fast paced action elements and see the ‘almost buddy cop’ chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson also starring Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek, Élodie Yung and Joaquim de Almeida!
