Vedaa Makers Break Silence: Film Awaits CBFC Certification
The makers of Vedaa, starring John Abraham and Sharvari, have shared an important update about the movie’s release. Directed by Nikkhil Advani and written by Aseem Arrora, the film is produced by Zee Studios, Umesh Kr Bansal, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and John Abraham, with Minnakshi Das as co-producer. It also features Abhishek Banerjee and Tamannaah Bhatia.
On Instagram, the makers shared a joint statement. ‘ We, the producers of Vedaa, feel compelled to share with our fans and supporters that despite our best efforts, we are still to secure a clearance and certification from the CBFC of India. Adhering to protocols, we applied for a certificate well before the prescribed eight weeks to release. Our film was screened for the CBFC on June 25th. Post this, we were advanced to a revising committee review without any explanation as to what the esteemed examining committee’s concerns or objections were. Since then, we have waited patiently for a revising committee to be constituted, impressed on all respected and honourable office bearers and repeatedly daily documented our appeal for certification, consideration or even an explanation. Despite this unusual delay, we have full faith in the system in place and are confident that the CBFC will oblige us rightfully.’
The Vedaa producers requested the relevant authority to address and resolve the matter promptly.
‘August 15th is a special date that we are fortunate to find ourselves in a position to bring our film to fans of John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani, who have supported our previous releases Satyamev Jayate and Batla House on the same date. Vedaa is a powerful, out-and-out entertaining film, inspired by current events. We believe it deserves to reach its audience. It is our sincere endeavour that we will be able to keep our appointment with you. Thank you. Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment, JA Entertainment.‘
The film’s release, originally scheduled for July 12, but got postponed. It will now hit theaters on August 15, where it will compete with Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 and Akshay Kumar and Vaani Kapoor’s Khel Khel Mein.
Update: The reviewing committee at the Central Board of Film Certification has given Vedaa a U/A certificate with no cuts and suggested adding a disclaimer at the start. The board has approved the entire film without any issues.
