John Abraham-Starrer Vedaa's Release Date In Jeopardy, Director Nikkhil Advani Miffed With CBFC
'Vedaa' makers, who are yet to get CBFC certification, are now racing against time for their film to be released in cinemas on August 15, 2024.
John Abraham and Sharvari-starrer 'Vedaa', directed by Nikkhil Advani is currently slated to release in cinemas on August 15, 2024. The upcoming Hindi movie is set to clash with Shraddha Kapoor's 'Stree 2' and Akshay Kumar's 'Khel Khel Mein'. However, in the latest entertainment news, it is not known whether 'Vedaa' will be able to release in cinemas on August 15 or not. Director Nikkhil Advani shared a long statement on Wednesday, on the behalf of producers of 'Vedaa', saying they are yet to receive a censor certificate and clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification.
Taking to Instagram, Nikkhil Advani issued a statement, saying, "We, the producers of Vedaa, feel compelled to share with our fans & supporters that despite our best efforts, we are still to secure a 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 25th. Post this, we were advanced to a revising committee review without any explanation as to what the esteemed examining committee's concerns or objections were."
"Since then, we have waited patiently for a revising committee to be constituted, impressed on all respected and honourable office bearers and repeatedly daily documented our appeal for certification, consideration, or even an explanation. Despite this unusual delay, we have full faith in the system in place and are confident that the CBFC will oblige us rightfully. It is our earnest request and wish that these words reach those who are able to help us resolve and dissipate this impasse and have our film certified," he added.

Vedaa is a powerful, out-and-out entertaining film, inspired by current events. We believe it deserves to reach its audience. It is our sincere endeavour that we will be able to keep our appointment with you. Thank you. Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment, JA Entertainment."
