Randeep Hooda as Veer Savarkar

NEW DELHI: Randeep Hooda’s first movie as a director, ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’, on Thursday faced a last-minute issue with getting its censorship certificate, just a day before its release. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has not yet cleared the Marathi version of the film, and the Hindi version’s clearance is still in progress.

However, when The New Indian team contacted CBFC, they stated that the Hindi version had been approved, and that they were working on clearing the Marathi version by the evening. If the Marathi version is delayed, it will result in a big loss of revenue. Unfortunately, the film has already missed out on the advantage of advance booking due to the delay.
