Pathaan gets new directive from Delhi High Court

After the Pathaan trailer was released last week, the Delhi High Court on Monday directed Yash Raj Films (YRF) Production to add some changes to the film. As per a new report, the court has asked the production company to add ‘subtitles, close captioning and audio description in Hindi’ for hearing and visually-impaired people to enjoy the film OTT platforms. It has asked YRF to submit the changes to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) again for re-certification, reports Hindustan Times.

Helmed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana in the lead roles. It is all set to hit the theatres on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

As per Bar and Bench, the court directed the producers to submit the details by February 20. It also ordered the CBFC to take a decision by March 10. The court didn’t give any directions to Pathaan’s screening in theatres as the film is set to release on January 25.

According to the report, the film will stream on Prime Video in April. So, the judge noted that the producers can make the changes by then. The court refused ‘to pass any direction in respect of the theatrical release of Pathaan’.
