After netizens slam alcohol disclaimer carried in large font in Deadpool & Wolverine and Twisters, CBFC drops warning from Trap

The disclaimer ran prominently in The Bikeriders; Deapool & Wolverine; Trap
In recent weeks, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) attracted the wrath of cinephiles, who expressed their displeasure about the prominent alcohol warning displayed in film scenes depicting the consumption of liquor. The debate amplified in the past fortnight, as some scenes in Hollywood biggies Deadpool & Wolverine and Twisters featured the disclaimer. Now, the CBFC seems to have done a turnaround with M Night Shyamalan’s Trap, in which the warning is conspicuously missing.
An insider tells us that the Prasoon Joshi-headed board decided to remove these warnings from the August 2 release, after the social media uproar. The source says, “The CBFC internally decided that the Josh Hartnett-starrer, which has several drinking scenes set in a concert, didn’t need an alcohol warning signatory.”
