Pathaan’s New directions for release following the controversy

Following nationwide protests and controversy Delhi High Court has released Pathaan’s new directions for release. If the reports are true, Bar And Bench, the Delhi HC has asked makers of Pathaan to add “audio descriptions close captioning and subtitles in the Hindi language” before Pathaan is ready for an OTT release. This will make the movie accessible to film lovers who have hearing and visual impairments. High Court has made it mandatory to implement the changes in the movie. Following the changes, the makers must submit it again to the Censor Board for approval. Apparently, these changes should be made to the movie before it hits the OTT platforms.
