Priyanka Chopra's item song Babli Badmaash gets U/A certificate

Priyanka Chopra's debut item song in Babli Badmaash Hai in Shootout At Wadala was initially granted an 'A' certificate on the grounds that it was an 'item song'.

But on Monday, the CBFC put Babli Badmaash through the Revising Committee, which cleared the track with 'U/A' certificate.

"After submitting Babli Badmaash for certification, we were informed that it would get an 'A' because it was an item track. We informed the CBFC that the industry was not aware of such a rule and that this would warrant a larger discussion between both parties. We were later told by the CBFC that there was no blanket directive and that songs would be certified according to their content," said Tanuj Garg, CEO - Balaji Motion Pictures.

According to reports, the CBFC had received a complaint from a Delhi-based

women's body regarding the commodification of women in item songs.

The CBFC's decision had the film's producers in a state of shock considering that this new rule had never been communicated to the film industry in the past.

The song will be unveiled on March 15.
