Despite
getting
clear
'U'
certificate
from
the
Censor
Board,
the
release
of
Shahid-Sonam
starrer
Bollywood
movie
Mausam,
which
was
slated
to
hit
the
screens
on
16th
September,
has
been
postponed
to
23rd
September.
The
delay
in
the
release
had
fueled
several
speculations.
But
Shahid
Kapoor
has
defended
the
delay
by
saying
that
they
needed
time
to
promote
the
film.
In
a
press
conference
held
yesterday,
Shahid
Kapoor
said,
"The
release
date
has
been
shifted
to
September
23.
We
needed
a
NOC
from
IAF
and
Censor
Certificate,
we
got
a
'U'
certificate
and
then
the
board
wanted
to
see
the
film
once
again.
This
consumed
a
lot
of
time
delaying
the
release
date.
We
have
made
the
required
changes
in
the
particular
30
seconds
scene."
However,
Mausam
had
received
a
conditional
NOC
from
the
officers
of
IAF,
who
once
again
watched
the
movie
at
a
special
screening
arranged
in
Delhi
yesterday.
After
the
screening,
the
IAF
requested
for
a
minor
correction
in
a
particular
aerial
action
sequence.
The
scene
in
question
is
only
30
seconds
long
and
needed
computer
graphic
changes,
which
has
been
done
immediately,
confirms
director
Pankaj
Kapoor.
