Edit Release Edit Certificate Controversy
The Makers Of The Film Expressed Disappointment In The Censor Board For Film Certification's Decision To Granting The Film An "A" Certificate Meant For Adults 18 Years Or Older Instead Of A "U/A" Certificate As They Had Expected. Bhardwaj Said "It Was Injustice To Us. There Is No Abusive Language Used In The Film And The Violence Is Of 'comic Book Kind'. There Is A Line In The Film Where A Character Is Asked Where Does He Comes From. The Character Says Pilibhit. There Were No Political Overtones To The Line. But The Censor Board Asked Me To Edit Pilibhit Saying That It Is A Sensitive Constituency. They Told Me To Use A Fictitious City Name. I Had To Change The City Name From Pilibhit To Barabanki." 10 Edit Delayed Release Due To Flu Pandemic Scare Box Office
