Even
today,
artists
in
India
have
to
contend
with
the
fact
that
words,
speeches
and
visuals
are
censored
and
watered
down
to
make
audiences
more
comfortable.
Recently,
when
a
TV
channel
censored
the
word
'sperm'
while
airing
Good
Newwz'
promo,
it
left
Akshay
Kumar
shocked.
Akshay
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
next
film,
Good
Newwz,
a
comedy
of
error
of
sorts
when
two
couples'
sperms
get
mixed
up
during
an
In-Vitro
Fertilization.
While
the
movie
promises
to
deliver
some
good
laughs,
Akshay
hopes
that
above
all,
it
serves
to
break
stigma
attached
to
IVF.
Talking
about
the
censorship
of
the
word
'sperm'
by
a
TV
channel,
Akshay
said
in
an
interview
with
SpotboyE,
"Yes,
unfortunately
even
today
people
speak
in
hush
tones
about
IVF.
But
Good
Newwz
will
go
a
long
way
in
proving
that
IVF
is
indeed
a
boon."
He
added,
"I
was
shocked
to
know
that
a
TV
channel
has
run
our
promo
with
the
word
sperm
beeped
in
it.
If
we
will
do
such
things,
then
it
defeats
the
purpose
of
the
entire
promo,
as
our
film
is
based
on
the
very
subject
and
how
would
anyone
understand
it
-
the
word
sperm
comes
at
least
4-5
times
in
it."
Akshay
is
super
excited
about
Good
Newwz,
which
also
stars
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
Diljit
Dosanjh
and
Kiara
Advani.
He
has
said
that
this
is
one
of
the
best
films
of
his
career,
and
that
the
last
twenty
minutes
of
the
film
are
very
touching.
Good
Newwz
is
directed
by
Raj
Mehta,
and
produced
by
Dharma
Productions
and
Cape
Of
Good
Films.
It
is
scheduled
for
release
on
December
27,
2019.
