Ranbir Kapoor can't say the F-word

Had the Censor axe not fallen on Prakash Jha's film Raajneeti, we might have seen Ranbir Kapoor utter the F-word for the first time on big screen.

As you must be knowing by now, the film, slated for release on June 4, has been given a U/A certificate after some cuts, which includes a passionate lovemaking scene between Arjun Rampal and Katrina Kaif. But what is little known is that the axe has also fallen on the scenes that have Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal saying the F-word. The popular cuss word has now been beeped out.

Reports say it was ex-justice Usha Mehra among the members of Film Certification Appellate Tribunal who raised objection to the use of foul language in the film.

Jha says he doesn't mind beeping out the F-word. But what hurts him is the editing of the lovemaking scene which he claims was "absolutely essential" to the plot.
