The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has directed the makers of Shah Rukh Khan- and Deepika Padukone-starrer ‘Pathaan’ to implement "changes" in the movie, including its songs, chairperson Prasoon Joshi said on Thursday.

The CBFC has asked production banner Yash Raj Films to submit a revised version of the spy action thriller in accordance with board guidelines, Joshi said in a statement. He did not give detail on the changes suggested to the makers.

"The committee has guided the makers to implement the advised changes in the film including the songs and submit the revised version prior to its theatrical release,” Joshi said in a statement.

The aim of the CBFC, Joshi said, was to strike a balance between creativity of the makers and sentiments of the audience and accordingly find a solution.

"I must reiterate that our culture and faith is glorious, intricate and nuanced. And we have to be careful that it does not get defined by trivia which takes the focus away from the real and the true.
