Despite
the
change
in
title,
Pratik
Gandhi's
Bollywood
debut
Bhavai
has
been
receiving
flak
in
social
media
with
a
certain
promo
as
a
section
of
people
alleged
that
it
hurt
their
religious
sentiments.
The
film
was
earlier
titled
as
Raavan
Leela.
Further,
some
people
even
demanded
a
ban
on
the
film.
Amid
this
controversy,
the
makers
have
now
released
a
statement
with
regards
to
their
film.
The
statement
read,
"Our
film
'BHAVAI'
is
fictional
love
story
of
two
individuals,
Raja
Ram
Joshi
(Pratik
Gandhi)
and
Rani
(Aindrita
Ray)
working
in
a
drama
company
and
how
their
life
changes
off
stage.
The
film
promo
was
released
under
the
title,
Raavan
Leela
as
the
protagonist
is
a
drama
actor
who
plays
the
role
of
Raavan
in
the
drama."
The
makers
revealed
that
they
have
snipped
the
controversial
dialogue
from
the
film
which
was
a
part
of
the
recently
released
promo
and
said,
"With
due
respect
to
the
concerns
regarding
the
title
of
the
promo
and
a
dialogue
in
the
promo,
we
wish
to
clarify
that
the
dialogue
and
the
above
title
Raavan
Leela
is
not
a
part
of
the
film
and
has
been
removed
from
the
promo
as
well
respecting
the
sentiments
of
our
viewers.
We
have
the
highest
regard
for
Hindu
culture
and
the
Ramayana.
The
film
and/or
any
portion
thereof
does
not
hurt
any
religious
stentiments
or
religious
beliefs."
The
statement
further
revealed
that
the
Pratik
Gandhi-starrer
has
been
passed
with
a
'U'
certificate
by
Central
Board
Of
Certification
(CBFC).
"The
film
Bhavai
has
been
approved
and
passed
by
the
Censor
Board
of
Film
Certification
under
the
'U'
category.
We
trust
that
this
clarifies
and
sets
at
rest
all
apprehensions,
misrepresentations,
doubts
and
misgivings
regarding
our
film
Bhavai
in
various
media,
including
digital
media," the
statement
read.
Have

the
statement.
We
trust
this

all
the

doubts
and
misgivings
regarding
our
film
#Bhavai!🙏
