[citation needed ] Honey Singhs song Party All Night in Akshay Kumar s upcoming film Boss was at the centre of controversy recently. Producers of the movie had to submit a petition in Delhi High Court claiming that they have muted the alleged vulgar word in Honey Singhs song. The court was hearing a petition filed by lawyer Sanjay Bhatnagar seeking a stay on the film, contending that without censor boards approval, the song could not be released with such a vulgar word. The petition had sought a stay on the release of the film till either the word or the song is deleted from the film. Akshay Kumar, however, does not think the allegation holds any value. Talking about Honey Singhs song in his upcoming film Boss, Kumar says, Wo koi vulgar word tha nai. Ab kisiko kuch aur sunai de to isme unke kaan ki galti hai na ki humari. (The word was not vulgar at all. They must have heard it wrongly. The blame lies on those who heard it wrong, not us.) [11]
