Salman Khan’s ‘Hud Hud Dabangg’ song edited, makers voluntarily remove ‘certain scenes’ after protests

Salman Khan starrer ‘Dabangg 3’ is set to hit the screens this Friday but has been facing protest ever since its title song ‘Hud Hud Dabangg’ was released. A certain section protested against portions of the song which featured Salman Khan dancing with Sadhus, who were shown playing a guitar. A Hindu organisation found it objectionable and asked the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to take action against the same.Social media stood divided over the same, with several netizens urging that the film should be banned. Keeping the larger sentiment in mind the makers of ‘Dabangg 3’, Salman Khan Films confirmed that they have edited certain portions from the song. “Keeping everyone’s sentiments in mind we have voluntarily edited certain scenes from the song Hud Hud Dabangg,” SKF posted on Twitter.

Earlier, choreographer of the song, Shabina Khan had told Bombay Times, “The song features sadhus dancing with guitars. Now, these are not real sadhus! These are dancers in a sadhu get-up performing choreographed steps. We shot the song in Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh. There were a few sadhus who had just gathered to see the shoot. You can see them standing in the background in the song."
