Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Earlier we had reported that the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had told director Homi Adajania to delete a dialogue in his upcoming film Finding Fanny if he wanted it to receive a U/A. The reason cited by the CBFC was that the said dialogue, "I am a virgin" mouthed by Deepika Padukone was classified as vulgar.

However, now we hear that the CBFC chairperson Leela Samson has since cleared the dialogue and permitted it to be added back to the film. Apparently, Samson admitted that deleting the line was a mistake and it needed to be rectified.

Confirming the development, Homi stated that this change in the CBFC's request came after he submitted the Hindi dub to the CBFC along with a mail to Leela Samson stating his case. Though the filmmaker had not objected to the cut, he wanted clarity on why the questionable dialogue had been cut from the film when it had already been passed in the trailers.

Produced by Maddock Films and presented by Fox Star Studios, Finding Fanny that features Arjun Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Pankaj Kapur, Dimple Kapadia and Naseeruddin Shah is slated for release on September 12.
