Shaad Alis take on live-in relationships OK Jaanu has just been granted an all-clear with a UA certificate. Says a source in the know, Only four verbal cuts were ordered. And these were minor alterations in the dialogue. Surprisingly, the Censor Board had no objection to the theme of live-in relationship. When the Tamil original Oh Kadhal Kanmani had gone for censor certification in March 2015, there was huge uproar over the films blatant espousal of a live-in relationship. The makers had to go to the Revising Committee to get the film cleared. Says censor Chief Pahlaj Nihalani , The times are changing. At one time, couples couldnt even meet before marriage. Now they get a chance to spend time with one another to know whether they are compatible or not. Thats a social reality. To turn away from it is not going to stop the changes in society. We must recognize and respect the changes in social mores.
