The Censor Board has said item songs will be examined to see whether they are suitable for a 'U', 'UA', or 'A' certificate.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)'s clarification came in the wake of raging debate about "obscenity" in item numbers, which have now become a key feature of most commercial films.
There were reports that the CBFC may come out with a rule to certify all dance numbers with an 'A' certificate, but the Board chairperson recently made it clear that there was no change in the existing guidelines.
When asked if the decision of the Censor Board will have an impact on the number of audience, Kareena says, "I don't think so. I am sure people will come to theatre to see the film and the song."
The actress was here to inaugurate FICCI Frames, a business-cum-entertainment convention, which kickstarted today and will conclude on March 14.
