It reportedly asked for ‘modifying the lip-lock scene’ in three scenes of 10 seconds, 8 seconds and 9 seconds. The CBFC also asked for other minor changes, including increasing the font-size of the anti-alcohol disclaimer on screen and replacing another disclaimer from the beginning of the film.
The length of the film as mentioned on the censor certificate is 142 minutes (2 hours, 22 minutes). ‘Bad Newz’ is a romantic comedy, which also stars Amy Virk and Neha Dhupia.
