CBFC Asks Sitaare Zameen Par Makers To Add PM Narendra Modi's Quote After Opening Disclaimer: Reports
Days after Sitaare Zameen Par was cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) without any cuts, it is being reported that the film body had asked the makers of the Aamir Khan-starrer to make a few additions to the movie, including adding a quote of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the opening disclaimer.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the release of the film -- backed by the actor's Aamir Khan Productions -- was in limbo after the Censor Board suggested a few cuts in the movie, something that was unacceptable to Aamir Khan.
The superstar was reportedly not satisfied with the changes asked by the CBFC's Examining Committee, following which the Revising Committee, headed by theatre veteran and academic Waman Kendre, watched the film recently.
According to this report by Bollywood Hungama, the Revising Committee also asked the makers to replace the terms - 'Michael Jackson' with 'Lovebirds' and 'Business Woman' with 'Business Person'.
The Revising Committee also asked the producers to remove a visual with the word ' kamal '.
After these changes were made, the CBFC granted a U/A 13+ certificate to the Sitaare Zameen Par makers, the report further stated.
The film, directed by RS Prasanna, will hit the screens on Friday (June 20).
As far as the box office business of Sitaare Zameen Par is concerned, the movie has already raised Rs 1.03 crore without block seats in advance booking. According to a report by trade website Sacnilk, the film has sold over 39,000 tickets for its opening day across India.
Also starring Genelia Deshmukh, Sitaare Zameen Par is billed as the spiritual sequel to 2007's Taare Zameen Par, which marked the directorial debut of Aamir Khan.

Reason behind Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani's success is these 8 powerful women: Kokilaben Ambani, Nita Ambani, Tina Ambani, Isha Ambani and...
Bollywood dazzles with its stars, but the true power moves behind the scenes—especially within India's wealthiest family. The Ambani women aren't just arm candy; they're architects of influence, each weaving unique strands into the Reliance story. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani began as the silent partner to her husband's fledgling textile dreams. A Gujarati girl who learned English by mimicking investor speeches, she managed credit lines and family budgets while running the household. Today, she holds a personal stake in Reliance estimated at Rs 18,000 crore and still calls the shots at family dinners—once the jalebis arrive, all boardroom battles end. Nita Ambani It's Nita Ambani, the founding force behind Reliance Foundation and the Mumbai Indians. Under her leadership, the foundation funds rural health, girl education, and disaster relief. If you've attended an IPL match or the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, you've seen her blend Bharatanatyam grace with conference-floor charisma—she quips, 'Excel sheets flow better after a good aramandi.' Purnima Dalal Purnima Dalal, Nita's mother, often goes unnoticed—but her influence shines brightest in the stands beside Jasprit Bumrah. A humble Gujarati, Purnima's presence offers emotional ballast; her voice, Nita has said, is her 'personal GPS—always pointing true north.' Mamta Dalal Mamta Dalal, a senior administrator at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, shepherds celebrity kids through MUNs and math tests. She ensures The Khan kids hand in homework and never misses staff meetings—with a red pen ready, regardless of your surname. Radhika Merchant Radhika Merchant brought finance credentials—and a flair for dance—to the family. Now Anant Ambani's fiancée, her NYU & Encore Healthcare resume promises future influence—and ₹10 crore plus in personal wealth. Tina Anil Ambani Tina Anil Ambani, once a 1980s silver-screen star, now chairs Kokilaben Hospital and the Harmony Art Foundation. She continues to attend film society screenings in disguise—turns out old training does still come in handy. Isha Ambani Piramal Isha Ambani Piramal, now a fintech board member and mom of twins via IVF, she's spoken openly about motherhood and mental health—giving visibility to fertility struggles across India. Shloka Mehta Ambani Shloka Mehta Ambani, Princeton alum and director at Rosy Blue, tours the world debating ethical bead-making supply chains—and still checks on Mumbai's cow welfare every fortnight. Nina Kothari Nina Kothari, who leads Kothari Sugars and backs literacy campaigns in Tamil Nadu; and Deepti Salgaoncar, co-founder of Goa's Sunaparanta arts centre, curating everything from Mario Miranda to QR-code installations. These nine women—from Chennai classrooms to diamond boards—reinvent Reliance not by mirroring its patriarchs but by adding original voices. Their collective influence spans finance, education, culture, and care. This isn't just a dynasty's second act—it's the quiet pulse that truly powers it.
