Mission Impossible Fallout: Censor boards cuts the mentions

New Delhi, July 31: Hollywood recent released action entertainer 'Mission: Impossible-Fallout', which is running successfully worldwide, couldn't get past the Indian censor board without a few edits.

Central Board of Film Certification chief Prasoon Joshi, explaining the cuts made to the India print of the film, told media that the "integrity of India's borders is non-negotiable."

He told : "The CBFC had advised the applicant of the film Mission: Impossible - Fallout that the map shown in the film misrepresents the boundaries of Jammu and Kashmir and should be either rectified or removed. They had also referred to Kashmir as 'India-controlled Kashmir' which we have asked them to correct as the 'Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir'."

"Integrity of our country's borders are non-negotiable and cannot be compromised on for the sake of entertainment," said Prasoon Joshi, who took over from Pahlaj Nihalani as the Censor Board chief in August 2017.

Director Christopher McQuarrie had told media before the film's release that the makers wanted to come to India to shoot the final sequence, but they didn’t get the necessary permission and had to instead opt for New Zealand. "We wouldn't have had a permission to shoot a helicopter chase sequence anywhere in the world apart from New Zealand," he said at a screening of the film.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout collected Rs. 36 crore over the weekend while Hindi film Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 lagged behind at Rs. 5 crore.
