Akshay Kumar's new release "Khel Khel Mein"  faces censored cuts in UAE. Fans took to social media to show their frustration on important portion of the movie being cut.

Reacting to the edit, the film’s director Mudassir Aziz expressed his feelings and said, “This edit changes the narrative of Fardeen’s character. It’s disheartening to see such an important moment erased. I felt cheated when I found out from Indian cine-goers about this.”

He also added “I’m a filmmaker. To write all sorts of characters and raise topics of conversation is my professional and moral duty. While it’s heartbreaking to see that something so relevant…found its way out of the UAE release, I’m thrilled at the applause that the rest of the world is sending my way for those very scenes.”

This movie makes Fardeen Khan’s big screen comeback after fourteen years. Fardeen Khan also expressed his feelings and said “Through this role, I hoped to contribute to a conversation that is necessary and relevant. While edits may have been made, the intention behind the role of acceptance remains unchanged, and I stand by the message’s importance.”
