Padmavat: Prasoon Joshi denies reports of 300 cuts but Twitter has a field day anyway

Although Padmavat is going to hit the theatres on 25 January, protests against the film continue in several parts of the country. Several reports claiming that the CBFC had recommended 300 cuts to the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film had been doing the rounds, only to be refuted by chairperson Prasoon Joshi. However, in the age of social media, where memes travel faster than light, the news reached Twitterati even before Joshi could react and the rest, as they say, is history. The twitterati had some hilarious things to say about the cuts and were amusingly accurate in depicting their reactions.
