Shah Rukh Khan’s next release, Fan — releasing on April 15 — features a scene of prolonged police brutality and shows the obsessive star stalker (SRK as Gaurav Chanana) being thrashed in lock-up while the star (SRK as Aryan Khanna) urges the cops to continue the merciless thrashing.

Says a source, “The scene of prolonged violence in lock-up where one Shah Rukh Khan urges the cops to beat up the other Shah Rukh was found to be unnecessarily prolonged. The Censor Board has asked for the sequence to be reduced by 50 per cent.” Besides the visual cut, the Board has asked for six verbal cuts. Cuss words and abuses in both Hindi and English have been asked to be deleted.
