Neil Nitin Mukesh-starrer 'Shortcut Romeo' will not be aired on Doordarshan. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has denied it a U certificate citing the film’s adult content that is said to not suit Doordarshan’s audiences.

The film had released in cinema halls with a U/A certificate, and since then, it has also been telecast on a general entertainment channel. But tapping into Doordarshan’s audience base may not be possible for its producers now. A source close to the board says, “The film, with its adult theme, features a lot of vulgar content and such films cannot be aired on Doordarshan.”
