Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao starrer Mental Hai Kya has been embroiled in controversies since the past few weeks. Reportedly, Indian Psychiatrist Society (IPS) had issues with the title of the film and also the film’s treatment of mental health conditions. However, now reportedly, CBFC has passed the film with a U/A certificate, but the title of the film will be changed.

Recently, Kangana Ranaut attended a meeting with the members of CBFC for Mental Hai Kya. Reportedly, the jury cleared the film with minor changes and almost without any cuts. However, the title of the film will be changed and Balaji Motion Pictures will announce it soon.

When a few weeks ago, the new motion poster of the film was released, producer Ekta Kapoor had written a disclaimer about the film on Twitter. She had tweeted, “DISCLAIMER 😀 film in no way marginalises d mental health community & d title of our film doesn’t intend 2 disregard any1 sentiments. It is sensitive towards d issue of mental illness. A fictional thriller dat encourages you 2 celebrate Ur uniqueness & embrace Ur individuality.”
