Shahid Kapoor is gearing up for his upcoming film ‘Deva’, which is set to release on January 31, 2025. However, the movie has stirred controversy after receiving clearance from the Censor Board. Despite being granted a U/A certificate, indicating it is suitable for viewers of all ages, the film has been asked to undergo several changes before its release.
- The Censor Board requested a six-second cut of a kissing scene between Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde.
- Certain “foul gestures” and profane language must be replaced with milder alternatives.
- The Board has also raised concerns about a reference to ‘Hutatma Chowk’, a landmark in Mumbai, and asked for clarification on its context.
Despite these adjustments, the film’s final runtime will be 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 59 seconds.
