Overview

• The Revising Committee conditioned an A certificate on about 15 deletions, including a beef biryani scene and the blurring of Rakhi visuals.
• The CBFC annexure also seeks removal or alteration of references to 'Dhwaj Pranam', 'Ganapathi vattam', and a purdah sequence, citing community sensitivities.
• The producers say the scene does not depict beef consumption and argue the film promotes communal harmony, disputing the board’s characterizations.
• The makers petitioned the Kerala High Court alleging an illegal, arbitrary referral from the Thiruvananthapuram regional office to the Mumbai Revising Committee.
• The High Court asked the Union government’s counsel to state its position before the next hearing on October 14, as the film’s release—budgeted around ₹15–16 crore—remains postponed.
