Nikkhil Advani, the director of the upcoming movie, Vedaa, starring John Abraham, has alleged that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has delayed the process of certifying his film. Taking to Instagram, Advani shared a joint post with John Abraham, Abhishek Banerjee, and the production company, and wrote, “We, the producers of Vedaa, feel compelled to share with our fans and supporters that despite our best efforts, we are still to secure clearance and certification from the CBFC of India. Adhering to protocols, we applied for certification well before the prescribed eight weeks to release. Our film was screened for the CBFC on June 25. Post this, we were advanced for a revising committee review without any explanation as to what the esteemed examining committee’s concerns or objections were. It is our earnest request that these words reach those who are able to help us resolve and dissipate this impasse, and have our film certified.” They urged those in authority to help them meet the “special date” of August 15 for the film’s release. Apart from Abraham, the film also stars Sharvari, and Tamannaah Bhatia.
