Shahrukh Khan has dropped the word ‘Barber’ from the title of his next release, Billu Barber. Now his film is simply called Billu. The President of the Salon and Beauty Parlors Association, Uday Takke, said they found the word ‘barber’ objectionable and they wanted it to be changed to hairdresser.

On Saturday evening, Takke met Shahrukh at Mannat. He says, "We explained to him that barber refers to a caste like ‘nai’ or ‘hajaam’. We are not barbers by caste. Shahrukh understood our problem." Shahrukh says, "When they met me they were very emotional. I didn’t know that the word is a caste. I didn’t want to hurt their feelings so I removed the word."
