The Censor Board of Film Certification (CBEF) had previously ordered the makers of Mission Impossible: Fallout to remove the visuals of maps misrepresenting the boundaries of Jammu and Kashmir, and the word 'India-occupied Kashmir', reports said.

A circular issued by Central Board of Film Certification dated July 19 asked the makers to remove the title card at the beginning of the sequence from the movie.

As per reports, there were four changes made before it hit the cinemas.

In the movie, one of the scenes shows a portion of the Southeast Asia map after which it jumps to a different scene showing Tom Cruise driving in the mountains.

The film's climax is supposed to be based in India where British anarchist Solomon Lane has stored nuclear weapons in the valley that he plans on detonating. The version that released in India does not identify the region where this action takes place.

Reports say that the scene which was omitted from the film showed a significant mention of Kashmir, Pakistan and China.

The reason behind the removal was to not raise issues with the Indian audience and their expectations, media reports mentioned.

Further, the maker of the film Christopher McQuarrie said that he had plans of shooting in India but failed to get permission and had to opt for New Zealand.
