The much-awaited crime action-thriller Vedaa, starring John Abraham and Sharvari, has finally received its certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). After some delays, the film is now cleared for its theatrical release, which is set for August 15.
John Abraham, who stars in and co-produces the film, had previously addressed the delay in certification. He shared an update on behalf of the production team, mentioning that the approval process was still pending. However, recent news confirms that Vedaa has been approved by the CBFC without any cuts.
Vedaa: No Cuts and a Green Light for Release
According to the latest reports, Vedaa has been certified as U/A (Unrestricted Public Exhibition – but with parental guidance for children under 12) by the CBFC’s revising committee. Importantly, the film has been granted this certification without any cuts. The certification comes with a requirement for a disclaimer at the beginning, but otherwise, the film received a clean bill of health from the board.
The team behind Vedaa is reportedly thrilled with the smooth certification process. They appreciate the CBFC’s understanding of the important issues the film addresses. With all hurdles cleared, Vedaa is set to hit theaters on August 15, 2024. The makers are gearing up for an extensive promotional campaign over the next 15 days, confident that their strong content and pre-release marketing will capture the audience’s attention.
Previous Delays in Certification
Before receiving the green light, the producers of Vedaa faced some challenges with the CBFC certification process. The film’s production companies, including John Abraham Entertainment, Zee Studios, and Emmay Entertainment, had announced that despite their efforts to follow all protocols and apply for certification well in advance, they faced delays.
In a statement, the producers explained that they had applied for certification within the prescribed eight weeks before the intended release date. They were informed about the need for a review by the revising committee and had patiently awaited the outcome. The statement reassured fans that Vedaa is a powerful and entertaining film inspired by current events and expressed hope that it would soon reach its audience.
What to Expect from Vedaa
Vedaa also features a notable cast including Tamannaah Bhatia, Abhishek Banerjee, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Kshitij Chauhan in key roles. The film is set to compete with other major releases, such as Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein, which are also scheduled for an August 15 release.
With the certification now in place and the promotional activities on the horizon, fans of John Abraham and Sharvari can look forward to a thrilling cinematic experience with Vedaa. The film’s blend of crime action and its relevant themes are expected to make a strong impact on audiences when it hits the big screen.
