Mumbai: The makers of Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao's upcoming film 'Mental Hai Kya' had to change film's title after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) raised objection towards it and called it "too harsh".
The film has got clearance from the CBFC with almost no cuts. However, members of the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) had written a letter to the CBFC seeking a change in the title of 'Mental Hai Kya' stating they find it derogatory and demeaning to the mentally ill people.
