A still from Vedaa

Last week, filmmaker Nikkhil Advani revealed to mid-day that his next, Vedaa, was lying with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for a month and was yet to be certified (Never saw a time when a maker couldn’t talk to CBFC, July 27). It raised questions whether the film would meet its August 15 release, given the Censor Board’s inaction. The good news is that on Monday, things quickly turned around. On July 29, the Revising Committee watched the John Abraham and Sharvari-starrer and cleared it with a ‘U/A’ certificate, without a single cut. The makers were only requested to put the mandatory disclaimers at the film’s beginning.
