Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Chef’ has passed the censor test with a U/A certificate with a single cut. The reason to it a UA ia surprising as Saif plays a divorcee who smokes.
A Quint report quoted a source as saying, “There was nothing in the film to justify a ‘UA’ rating rather than a ‘U’. But then the CBFC members apparently thought the hero who is divorced and who smokes, must be given a restricted viewing certification. Hence the ‘UA’.”
The film’s director Raja Krishna Menon confirmed the report and told the website, “The word ‘a**hole’ had to go. To think that would be a problem was surprising, because frankly there is no bad language in the film.Apparently you can’t have a hero separated from his wife and smoking in a ‘U’ film.”
