This
Friday's
big
release,
the
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
Khatta
Meetha
got
itself
embroiled
in
a
controversy
earlier
this
week.
After
the
Censor
Board
of
Film
Certification
(CBFC)
viewed
and
cleared
the
film
on
July
13,
a
certain
party
lodged
a
complaint
against
clearing
the
film
due
to
the
presence
of
a
scene
in
which
an
elephant
is
shown
pulling
the
road-roller.
The
complainant
seems
to
have
found
the
scene
objectionable
as
it
depicts
cruelty
towards
animals
and
hence
asked
the
CBFC
to
order
the
makers
to
delete
the
scene.
Such
a
step
would
have
resulted
in
delaying
the
dispatch
of
overseas
prints
and
could
have
even
pushed
the
release
date
further.
However,
things
seem
to
have
been
sorted
now.
When
we
got
in
touch
with
the
PR
of
the
film
he
said,
"Yes
there
was
a
small
issue
but
it
has
been
sorted
now.
In
fact
the
overseas
prints
have
also
been
delivered."
