  • Censors also sought authentication for a Sanskrit shloka and the replacement of a ‘Kantara film music (voom) scream’, with the certificate issued on Monday, January 12.
  • The approved runtime is 2 hours, 19 minutes and 40 seconds.
  • Kriti Sanon promoted the trailer on Instagram and a reported shoutout from Amitabh Bachchan drew a public thank-you from Pulkit Samrat.
  • Ahead of the January 16 theatrical opening, Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, and producer Suraj Singh visited Delhi’s Sri Hanuman Mandir, as the astrology-infused comedy reunites the Fukrey duo under director Vipul Vig with backing from Zee Studios and BLive Production.
