Slamming rumours, Veere Di Wedding’s producer Rhea Kapoor has denied any trouble so far with the Censor Board, because of the cuss words and language used in the film.
“So far we have had no problem with the Censor Board. I don’t want to talk more about it because we still have not gotten the censor certificate in our hands. Once we get it, we will issue a proper press release,” Rhea said.
She also went on to mention that veteran actor Anil Kapoor, her father, had accompanied her to present the film to the censor board. “One can be certain that if we can make a film for which my father can come along, then clearly, as women none of us should be ashamed of the film,” Rhea clarified.
Ekta Kapoor, who is also the co-producer of the film, added that the film has already covered its cost and they are looking at a clean run.
“Actually, I love this film. I trust the producer and I have four stellar leading women in the film. I have always picked a script which was not a hit on paper but on release became super successful,” said Ekta. “Like when I made Dirty Picture, I was told this film is a flop. How can you make a film with Vidya Balan playing a heroine that too, as an item number girl? When the film released my mom hugged me and told me this is an outstanding film.”
She also added that Veere Di Wedding has cleared most of its cost and they are looking at a great clean run.
Directed by Shashank Ghosh, the film stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania.
When asked about the idea of feminism, Kareena at the film’s audio launch said: “I believe in equality. I wouldn’t say I am a feminist. I would say I am a woman and above all, I am a human being. I am also as proud to be known as Saif Ali Khan’s wife, as I am to be Kareena Kapoor. So that is just the way I am.”

Kareena has always been vocal about her personal life, but in the film, she will be seen playing a character who is commitment phobic. When asked about her role in the film, she said: “I think what made me take up this part is that for me, as a commercial mainstream actor I am used to working with mainstream actors, be it Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan. It was very different to be part of a film with four girls.”
Meanwhile, Swara during an interview said, “It has been 105 years since our film industry came into existence, and this is first time we are making a film in main-stream cinema about four friends — it is their life story and none is falling in love with the same guy. So this is most special and unique.”
The film is scheduled to release on June 1.
