Mumbai, December 1: Producers of Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit's comeback film Aaja Nachle, which has run into a controversy over its title song, today apologised for the lyrics and said that immediate action has been taken to remove the objectionable words.

The instructions to remove the offending lyrics in the title song of the film had been sent to all distributors and exhibitors on Friday night and will not be heard in theatres from Saturday, a release from film's producer Yash Raj Films stated.

"It was not our intention to hurt the feelings of any individual or community of our great nation. If we have inadvertently hurt the sentiments of anybody, I apologise for the same," Yash Chopra, Chairman of Yash Raj Films, said.

"We have taken immediate remedial action by deleting the line from the prints of Aaja Nachle all over the country," he added.

The film, which features actress Madhuri Dixit after a long hiatus, was released across the country on Friday but had been pulled off screens in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab after the lyrics of its title song were deemed offensive to certain communities.
