Right after Barbie had issues with censorship, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer has also run into its own issues. The scene in question is an intimate scene between Cillian Murphy and Florence Pugh's characters.

There is a scene in Oppenheimer where the titular character (played by Murphy) and his mistress Jean Tatlock (Pugh) talking. Both are nude, and the latter is seen topless in the scene. However, in the Middle East and India, the scene has been modified and Pugh's body has been covered with a CGI black dress. Twitter user The Discfather has a still of the censored scene that can be seen below.

While the option of cutting the scene out of Oppenheimer, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the filmmakers optioned for a “soft base” version to pass censorship tests in the Middle East and India. The sources added that the edits were made “per usual business practice.”
