The censor board said that the film uses excessive verbal profanity and went on to compare it with the 2011 film Delhi Belly; CBFC said Imran Khan's film looked like a 'Disney film' in front of Saif's upcoming film. And with that, the film's release was stalled.

After going through this ordeal, the makers of the film approached the Film Certification and Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) to intervene. According to a recent report by DNA, the film has been cleared with one cut and has been given a U/A certification.

Saif Ali Khan spoke to the publication and confirmed the news. "Imagine a film after 72 cuts. The whole essence would be lost. But we went to FCAT and they passed it with just one cut and gave us a U/A certificate. That’s great," says the Chef actor.
