This is the 21st century and yet there are claims of racial prejudice and discrimination that keep cropping up the world over, even films for that matter are not left unscathed by this vicious stigma. However, the soon to be released Karan Johar produced film We Are Family has taken up the cause by deleting certain racially offensive scenes from the film.

If what is said is anything to go by then, Karan Johar and director Siddharth Malhotra have apparently chopped off nine minutes of footage containing references to the multiple racist attacks on Indians in Australia.

The said scenes in the film apparently show children being subjected to racial abuse in school. The buzz is that a total of nine minutes have been chopped from the film as KJo strongly felt that the scenes should be removed. Since most of his recent releases have been subject to controversies, Karan seems to be playing safe this time.

Director Siddharth Malhotra however states that deletion of those scenes does not affect the flow of the film.

Did he attain enlightenment after shooting the portions??

I'm glad htey chopped it out. I'm so tired of all these films always stereotyping those "goras" as mean nasty racists who always pick on the "poor brown folks".

^^ I agree.....V r too used to always portraying ourselves as the "poor victims"....Which is not always true... They have their share of bad uns just like we do....!!

I DNT Know why movies are always and only focused on racism only abroad, why dnt they first remove racism in our country.

Actually we all should know that we all come from the same source "Africa "  200,000 years ago .
