Soha Ali Khan’s 31st October cleared by CBFC with nine cutsHarry Sachdeva, who has produced the film, recently spoke about the changes they had to make during this process. He said that it took some time to convince the board but eventually they had managed to retain the scenes that were very important to the story and brought out the realism. They had a reason behind making this film which was to bring justice through the subject.
Speaking about the cuts that have been made, Harry Sachdeva informed that the scenes that showed violence and bloodshed had to be edited. They had to make nine major cuts including dialogues and scenes that could create massive protests from certain communities. The revising committee had asked them to trim down several scenes that were six to seven minutes long and the film was edited several times. All verbal abuses had to be beeped, even something as common as 'saala' on several instances.
