Shahrukh Khan has decided to drop the word ”barber” from the title of his home production film ”Billu Barber” after a section of hairdressers objected to the word terming it as ”derogatory”.Khan talking to reporters said that his production house Red Chillies has decided to drop the word ”barber” from all the posters.
He said that since the film is slated for release later this week, there isn't much that can be done. But he added that he doesn't want to invoke the wrath of any section of the society.
Khan said that members of Hairdressers and Saloon Association had approached him with their ”genuine concerns” over the use of the word ”Barber” and its Hindi translation ”hajaam”.
He said that though the censor board has already cleared the film, he would not like to hurt the sentiments of the hairdressers.
”Billu Barber”, directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Khan, is all set to release on 13th february 2009..
