EXCLUSIVE: CBFC censors sensual visuals of Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez in Welcome To The Jungle; replaces ‘andha’ with ‘dheela’; deletes ‘Paani of Kashmir’ dialogue

The much-awaited multi-starrer comic caper, Welcome To The Jungle, will release this Friday, on June 26. The censor process was completed on time and in this article, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively focus on the cuts given to the film.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed Welcome To The Jungle with a U/A 16+ dialogue. However, the makers were asked to make several changes. The dialogue ‘Kaala paida hua hai, koyla hai’ was replaced with ‘saadah paida hua hai, namoona hua hai’. A 10-second scene containing the words ‘na diya’ was asked to be deleted. The word ‘screwed’ was replaced with a suitable word in two places. Similarly, the word ‘Azarudden’ was replaced with ‘Allaudin’.

A dialogue mentioning ‘Paani of Kashmir’ was asked to be deleted. The dialogue ‘Yaad karo kurbani, munh mein bhar lo paani’ was replaced with ‘Jo shaheed hone ja raha tha, uske munh mein bhar lo paani’. ‘Aandha’ was replaced with ‘dheela’ while the dialogue ‘desh ki tatti’ was asked to be deleted. Then, ‘Izzat le lo’ was replaced with ‘Yeh aapke saath jaane ko...’, ‘Gorkha Regiment’ was replaced with ‘Tum army se ho?’. ‘General’ was removed and replaced with ‘Officer’ and ‘Sir’ wherever it occurred in the film.

Now, coming to the visual deletions. The cut list says that the makers ‘deleted and replaced sensual bikini visuals, close-up of woman hip passing visuals and hip movement visuals in the song wherever they occurred’. At one point, it specifically mentions that sensual visuals of Disha Patani and Jacqueline Fernandez have been deleted. Lastly, the ‘vulgar’ hand gesture visuals were replaced with a close-up shot of Vindu Dara Singh.

In short, the CBFC asked for 14 changes. Once these modifications were done, the makers of Welcome To The Jungle were handed the censor certificate on June 20. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 164.50 minutes. In other words, Welcome To The Jungle is 2 hours, 44 minutes and 50 seconds long.

Welcome To The Jungle fever grips exhibitors; Supergirl bookings delayed as theatres prioritize Akshay Kumar’s comic caper

This week will see the release of not just one of the most-awaited Hindi films of the year, Welcome To The Jungle, but also the Hollywood superhero entertainer, Supergirl. Both films will be released on Friday, June 26. However, as of 7:00 pm on June 24, the bookings for Supergirl have yet to begin.

A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “There’s tremendous excitement in the exhibition sector for Welcome To The Jungle. Moreover, the distributor of the comic caper has also requested extensive promotion. As a result, theatres have decided to adhere to it.”

The source continued, “Consequently, Supergirl is unable to get the desired number of shows. Warner Bros is clear that they are not asking for excessive showcasing. They have asked for 2 prime shows in 4-screen multiplexes and 3 prime shows in multiplexes with more than 4 screens. Yet, they are facing difficulty in securing showcasing. The negotiations are on and a solution is expected to be reached by Wednesday night or Thursday morning.”

As of 7:00 pm on June 24, Supergirl’s bookings had commenced only in Devgn CineX in The Walk in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The same multiplex chain has started bookings in Delhi and Ahmedabad as well. Smaller chains have taken the initiative in other cities. In Pune, not a single cinema hall has begun selling tickets. Similarly, the national chains, that is PVR Inox and Cinepolis, have not opened bookings in a single property in the entire North, Eastern and Western belt.

The source said, “Warner feels its demand is reasonable and that it is not asking for too many shows. They were among the few studios that released their films during the Covid period when Hindi filmmakers were shying away from theatrical releases. Hence, they feel they shouldn’t be given step-motherly treatment now that things have improved. The studio is hopeful that the issue will be resolved amicably and that Supergirl gets a fair showcasing.”

Emraan Hashmi returns to horror after 5 years with Rooh, set for 2027 release

After redefining horror for a generation and becoming one of the most recognisable faces of the genre in Indian cinema, Emraan Hashmi is set to headline Rooh, a high-concept musical-horror spectacle designed for a theatrical experience. The film is slated for a 2027 theatrical release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Directed by Mayank Sharma, the creator-director of the highly acclaimed Prime Video’s Breathe Franchise, Rooh brings together a unique blend of new-age horror, music and emotion, envisioned as a spine-chilling cinematic experience. Known for his command over psychological depth, atmosphere and character-led storytelling, Mayank brings his immersive vision to a film built for the big screen.

Rooh brings Emraan Hashmi into a world that is close to his heart and deeply connected to the kind of cinema audiences have always loved him for. The film is written by Mayank Sharma and Vishal Kapoor, known for Lapachhapi and Chhorii, and produced by Vikram Khakhar and Sunny Khanna, a Vicked Films Productions.

Speaking about the film, Emraan Hashmi shares, “Rooh is a film that immediately connected with me because it brings together new-age horror, emotion and music in a very powerful way. This is a space that audiences have always associated with me, and the world Mayank is creating feels intense, emotional and cinematic. That is what excited me the most about Rooh, and I am really looking forward to audiences experiencing it on the big screen.”

Speaking about the film, director Mayank Sharma adds, “As someone who has always loved the horror genre... Rooh is my attempt to create a film that goes beyond fear. It’s emotionally layered and immersed with unsettling atmosphere and presented with contemporary cinematic treatment… I’m thrilled to collaborate with Emraan for this deeply layered character. My entire team and I hope to bring audiences a truly unique and unforgettable horror experience.”

With Rooh, the intent is to create a haunting, immersive and emotionally charged cinematic journey that goes far beyond the conventions of a regular horror film.

Adding to the film’s commercial strength is its music. In true Emraan Hashmi style, Rooh will carry a powerful soundtrack, with the first glimpse of its tune already hinting at the kind of melody, longing and emotional recall that audiences have always associated with his films. The combination of horror and memorable music gives the film a strong edge across cinema, digital, music, youth and wider audiences.

Industry insiders suggest that the project is also being developed with global ambitions, backed by international creative and technical collaborations that elevate the film’s visual scale and overall cinematic experience.

More than a conventional horror film, Rooh blends fear, emotion, music and supernatural power into a theatrical world designed for audiences in India and beyond. With Emraan Hashmi, Mayank Sharma’s immersive vision and music as a major commercial driver, Rooh is shaping up to be one of the most exciting horror properties to watch out for.
