Singham Again has been certified as U/A after Rohit Shetty was asked to modify footage lasting a little over 7 minutes.
Singham Again is ready for the clash of the year! The Ajay Devgn starrer is set to release on the occasion of Diwali. The film locks horns with Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Singham Again incorporates the elements of Ramayan into the cop universe. While fans are eager to see how the films perform at the box office, a new report has revealed that Singham Again has been certified by the Censor Board and there are a few changes directed to Rohit Shetty. The film has been granted a U/A certificate.
According to Bollywood Hungama, CBFC has censored footage worth 7.12 minutes in Singham Again. Although the duration seems long, the cuts are scattered throughout the film. “At two places, the Examining Committee asked the makers to suitably modify the 23-second-long ‘match cut’ visuals depictions of Lord Rama, Sita Mata and Lord Hanuman with that of Singham, Avni and Simmba respectively. Similarly, a 23-second-long visual of ‘Singham with Shri Ram, touching feet’ was ‘suitably modified,’” the report shared.
It is also said that the Censor Board asked director Shetty to remove a 16-second visual of Raavan ‘grabbing, pulling and pushing Sita’. They also ordered that a 29-second scene of ‘Hanuman burning and dialogue of Simmba flirting’ should be deleted. They also asked the team to remove a 26-second dialogue and visuals as they feel it “affected international diplomatic relations of India with neighbouring state”. For the unversed, a portion of Singham Again is set in Sri Lanka.

CBFC has ordered the team to add a disclaimer at the beginning of the film which read, “This film is purely a work of fiction…Although the film is inspired by the story of Lord Ram, neither its narrative nor the characters should be viewed as revered deities…The story features contemporary characters of today…or societies, and their cultures, customs, practices, and traditions.”

With these cuts Singham Again’s duration is 2 hours 24 minutes.
Singham Again boasts of an impressive lineup of actors. These include Ajay, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and Jackie Shroff. This marks the fifth film in Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe.
