John Abraham’s eagerly anticipated film ‘Vedaa’ is facing delays due to pending clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Director Nikkhil Advani took to social media to highlight the issue calling on the authorities to expedite the review process. According to the film’s team, ‘Vedaa’ was initially submitted for CBFC review on June 25th. In a rather long joint statement, the makers said, “We, the producers of ‘Vedaa’, feel compelled to share with our fans and 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 a certificate 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 the filmmakers have been in limbo appealing to those who can expedite the certification to catch the release date of August 15th.
