CBFC asked film's producer Yash Raj Films to submit a revised version of the action movie in accordance with board guidelines.

Chairperson Prasoon Joshi said on Thursday in a statement, “The film went through the due and thorough examining process as per the CBFC guidelines.”

Joshi added, was to strike a balance between the creativity of the makers and the sentiments of the audience, and accordingly find a solution.

"I must reiterate that our culture and faith is glorious, intricate and nuanced,” said Joshi.

“We have to be careful that it does not get defined by trivia which takes the focus away from the real and the true.”

“Trust between creators and audience is most important to protect and the creators should keep working towards it,” Prasoon said, as per PTI.
