Salman Khan’s Dabangg 3 song Hud Hud voluntarily edited to remove ‘objectionable’ scenes after protests
Hindustan TimesDays after a group objected to a few scenes in the Dabangg 3 title song, the makers have announced that they have voluntarily removed the visuals. The said scenes show sadhus grooving to the music in Hud Hud Dabangg, the title track of the film. “Keeping everyone’s sentiments in mind we have voluntarily edited certain scenes from the song Hud Hud Dabangg,” the note read. In the letter to CBFC, the group had said, “If the movie happens to be on the lines of what we have seen in the trailer, it is extremely shocking depiction of Hindu deities and saadhus and also goes at great lengths to humiliate and poke fun at the basic foundations of Sanatana Dharma.” The organisation had claimed that a scene in the song shows sadhus clad in saffron, dancing with guitars in their hands. I don’t think there is anything in this film, that a controversy can be created.” Directed by Prabhudeva, produced by Salman, Arbaaz Khan and Nikhil Dwivedi, Dabangg 3 also features Sonakshi Sinha, Mahesh Manjrekar, his daughter Saiee Manjrekar, Arbaaz Khan, Mahie Gill, Dimple Kapadia and Kannada star Sudeep.
