Abusive language, double-meaning dialogues, cuss words and even naughty punning remain strictly prohibited areas of activity as far as the censor board is concerned.

The latest to feel the brunt of the censorial scissors is Ranbir Kapoor. Some of his tongue-in-cheek dialogues in Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha have been snipped out.

Apparently a risque reference to the Interpol was cut out of the film. Two sexual innuendos also had to go.

Says a source, "They were fun lines, the way young people speak in a team. At one point a character makes a veiled reference to masturbation which the censor board did not want. There was another naughty reference to men and women who hide their relationship. 'Din mein sister raat mein bistar' (sister during the day, to bed at night)."

At one point Ranbir refers to Deepika as 'Saali'. That too has gone.

Sudhir Mishra is embarrassed by the stories in the papers on Tuesday morning stating he got into a scuffle with bouncers at a mall in Pune on Monday. Says the mortified moviemaker, "I've never got into a scuffle with anyone. It just so happened that we were at this very crowded mall where the bouncers couldn't control the crowds. One of them pushed me. He didn't recognize me and probably thought I was a fan of Chitrangda. If someone pushes you, don't you push him back? It was no big deal."

Though Sudhir seems to be going on an over-drive with the marketing and promotion of Inkaar, he disagrees he's over-doing it. "I did more publicity and promotion for my last film Yeh Saali Zindagi. It's just that our producers Viacom 18 are stage-managing the events very well, so it all seems more visible."

People choose to start with a bang, however Aditi Rao Hydari has chosen to silently climb the ladder and slowly enter the hearts of the viewers. She debuted in a Hindi film (after a Malayalam and a Tamil film) with a supporting role in Delhi 6. To our disappointment we hardly saw her in the film. However, she returned with a bang in Yeh Saali Zindagi and gave us a performance that we can only expect from actresses who are not just 3 films old. After playing one of the leads in Ysz, she returned to a supporting role in Rockstar and thankfully this time she didn’t go as unnoticed.
