Mumbai: Ahead of its August 14 theatrical release, War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani has undergone multiple changes as per the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) guidelines.
According to a Bollywood Hungama report, the War 2 CBFC cuts include muting six ‘inappropriate references’ in the film. An ‘obscene’ dialogue was replaced with an approved line, while a two-second ‘obscene’ gesture made by a character — appearing a minute after the dialogue — was completely removed.
The CBFC also directed the makers to reduce sensual images by 50%, equivalent to 9 seconds, reportedly linked to Kiara Advani’s bikini scene. After implementing these changes, War 2 was granted a U/A 16+ certificate on August 6. Initially, the film’s runtime was 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 49 seconds (179.49 minutes).
War 2 Team Voluntarily Shortens Runtime
Two days later, the production team voluntarily approached the CBFC to reduce the runtime to 2 hours, 51 minutes, and 44 seconds (171.44 minutes). No further cuts were requested in action sequences.
