After Judgementall Hai Kya, CBFC Asks Vardhan Puri’s Paagal To Change Title

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the makers of “Paagal” to change the film’s title because of the “social stigma” attached to the word.

“The main issue is with the word ‘Paagal‘ as they find a lot of social stigma attached to the word. Therefore, we are having to replace the word in the film to make it more socially responsible,” said the film’s lead actor Vardhan Puri.

The film’s unit, however, is positive they will find an “even more powerful and effective title”, added Vardhan, who is actor Amrish Puri’s grandson.

“We have very high regard for the CBFC and their decision as we are a socially responsible family and production house. Luckily, the changes being asked for do not affect our film’s narrative and are very minor,” said Vardhan.
