EXCLUSIVE: COMPLETE list of 24 cuts imposed by CBFC in L2 Empuraan after controversy; 2002 reference removed; Baba Bajrangi’s name changed to Baldev : Bollywood News
The long -awaited Malayalam film L2 Empuraan was released on Thursday March 27 and took a huge opening. Unfortunately, the film entered controversy due to its certain themes and points of the plot. The case has become so serious that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) insisted on several cups in the film. This development shocked the industry because it was the CBFC which passed the film in the first place and did not find the said reprehensible scenes then. However, the manufacturers have decided to make these changes to extinguish the controversy.
