EXCLUSIVE: Kanu Behl BREAKS silence on Agra CBFC cuts: “Got NO pushback from Censors; they were really nice to us…they asked me to cut 3 nudity shows; I convinced them about 2 after which only 1 shot was deleted”

2 days ago, Bollywood Hungama reported that Agra, a rare Hindi film to have frontal nudity, had faced cuts from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The frontal nudity scene and the abuses were axed, after which the makers were given an ‘A’ certificate. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Kanu Behl after Agra didn’t get sufficient shows in cinemas across the country. We then asked him to comment on the censor cuts as well. Kanu Behl said, “I can comment in the context of my film. Thankfully, I got no pushback from the Censors. In fact, they were really nice to us. They loved the film. Whatever changes have been made were done by me personally. All they asked me to do was to cut out 3 shots. They said, ‘We love the film. We don’t want to cut anything out of it. We think it’s a really important film. We are giving you an adults-only certificate. Today, even with an adult rating, you cannot have nudity and profanity’”. Kanu continued, “They asked me to cut 3 nudity shots. I was able to talk to them about two and explain the importance of it. Accordingly, I made small alterations. So, all that was deleted was 1 shot. The abuses were also removed, which I did not object as I did not want to fight that battle because it’s a much bigger structural question. Also, the Committee couldn’t do anything about it. They were really upfront about it and I appreciated that.”When asked about his next film, Kanu Behl replied, “Too early to talk about it. I am not going to give up. I want to keep fighting (for more shows for Agra). I first want to ensure that this film gets the space that it needs and deserves. I also want to start a conversation about independent cinema at large. This system is designed for a monopoly of sad, infantilized films pandering to people’s entertainment. Slowly, that is the only space that is being promoted and that space is cut out for anything else which is not in that zone.”Also Read: EXPLOSIVE: Kanu Behl on multiplexes denying shows to Agra: “We are NOT asking for 1000 screens; we are only asking for 100 good screens. has the rot set so deep that no one just cares anymore?

120 Bahadur to hold paid previews 3 DAYS before release; Excel Entertainment & Trigger Happy Studios announce historic nationwide screenings on Nov 18, 2025

In a bold move seldom seen in the Hindi film industry, the producers of 120 Bahadur Excel Entertainment and Trigger-Happy Studios are releasing select paid previews across India on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, a full three days in advance of its official theatrical release on 21 November 2025. The date isn’t arbitrary. The early screenings are timed to coincide with the 63rd anniversary of the Battle of Rezang La-one of the most heroic chapters in India’s military history and the film’s central inspiration-in 1962. With this bold step, 120 Bahadur now joins an exclusive club of Hindi films that have dared to offer audiences paid previews days ahead of release-a strategy that signals supreme confidence from the makers. According to the producers, the idea is two-fold-a tribute and a test. The early shows are designed as a homage to the brave soldiers of Rezang La, giving viewers an advance opportunity to experience the film’s emotional depth, large-scale action and patriotic intensity on a date steeped in significance. At the same time, it serves as a calculated gauge of audience sentiment, letting initial reactions organically build buzz in the lead-up to the wider national release. A source close to the production explains that this is not just a publicity call; it is an act of faith. They are confident that the emotion of the film would speak for itself, and paid previews on such an important date reinforce further the authenticity and respect with which 120 Bahadur has been made. With anticipation already building around the film’s ambitious scale and stirring narrative, this unprecedented preview strategy has only intensified industry curiosity. Whether or not the move proves to be a masterstroke, or a high-risk experiment will become clear as audiences line up for these special early screenings on November 18.

Rakhi Sawant has weighed in on Urvashi Rautela’s recent statement about being “all natural,” and in true Rakhi style, she has not held back. During a podcast conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Urvashi spoke about her appearance, prompting Rakhi to respond with a string of bold, unfiltered remarks that quickly grabbed attention online. Rakhi began by calling out the secrecy around cosmetic enhancements in the entertainment industry. “Bahut saare logon ne apni hatheliyon ki haddiyan tudwa ke kamar patli kar li hai. This is the new style, you know? Yeh log China, Bhutan, Bangkok, America, Canada jaate hain, aur apni kamar ki upar wali do haddiyan todwa ke andar kar lete hain. Yeh style hai aajkal! Log nahi bolte, kyun bolne ka? Unko lagta hai, ‘kyun bolun bhai, meri mast daal-roti chal rahi hai! (Many people get the bones of their palms broken to make their waist thin. This is the new style. They go to China, Bhutan, Bangkok, America, Canada and get the two upper bones of their waist broken and pushed in. It’s a trend today! People don’t talk about it because they think, ‘Why say anything when my life is going well?’!)”Turning directly to Urvashi’s claim, Rakhi added, “Par kuch log nahi bolte na, phir Urvashi ki tarah sab bolte hain, ‘main toh born, paidaishi aisi hi hoon!’ Urvashi, humne tumhare purane photo dekhe hain behen! Please, sabke purane photo dekho (But some people don’t admit anything, and then like Urvashi, they say, ‘I was born this way!’ Urvashi, we’ve seen your old photos, sister. Please, just look at everyone’s old photos).”Rakhi didn’t stop there. When reminded about being compared to Urvashi in the past, she unleashed yet another sharp comment. “Aapka kya dimaag ghutne mein hai kya? Aap meri tulna Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Paris Hilton aur Kim Kardashian se karen. Aapko ghisapita bas ek hi naam mil jaata hai (Is your brain in your knees? Compare me with Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. You people always find the same old name).”Rakhi’s remarks have now sparked new debate across social media, with fans weighing in on the practice of cosmetic procedures, transparency among celebrities, and the long-standing comparisons between actors. As always, Rakhi’s unfiltered commentary has added fuel to the conversation and ensured that the internet is talking once again.

Siddharth Sharma issues legal notice to producers of Sunny Deol’s Soorya for breach of contract

Bollywood actor Siddharth Sharma has officially taken legal action against the producers of the upcoming film Soorya, citing intentional breaches of contractual obligations. Sharma posted a formal statement on social media, announcing that a legal notice has been issued to the producers for failing to honour the terms of an agreement signed before the film’s production. The film, which stars Sunny Deol, has become the subject of controversy after Sharma revealed the details of his dispute with the producers. In his statement, he claimed that the producers, including Kamal Mukut, Soham Rockstar Entertainment, and Deepak Mukut, have continuously failed to comply with the contractual obligations outlined in the artist agreement.“I have issued a formal legal notice against the producers for intentional and constant breach of contractual obligations under the Artist Agreement for the Hindi film ‘Soorya,’” Siddharth Sharma wrote on Instagram, tagging several involved parties, including Zee Music Company and Zee Studios. The notice mentions specific legal provisions under Sections 37, 39, 73, and 74 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, indicating potential formal legal proceedings against the producers for their actions. Sharma’s statement further emphasized that the legal steps were necessary after repeated failures by the production house to address the issues raised. Sharma’s post also mentioned his intention to move forward with formal legal proceedings if the producers do not take corrective action. The announcement has stirred speculation within the industry, particularly given the high-profile nature of the film Soorya, which has been generating buzz due to its association with Sunny Deol and its anticipated release under the Zee Music Company and Zee Studios. At the time of writing, neither the producers nor the other parties involved have issued a formal response to the legal notice or Sharma’s claims.
