Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay has not been passed by Censor board yet

AJay Devgn's Shivaay is yet to be watched by the Censor Board. So no question of getting a single cut on it.

This morning you were told through news reports that Ajay Devgn‘s Shivaay has been passed with just one cut and CBFC is of the view that it should get a U certificate. A source quoted DNA, “Shivaay went for screening on Thursday after Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was passed by the CBFC on Wednesday. Ajay Devgn has been at the Walkeshwar office of the Board for the last few days. Only the kiss and the lovemaking scene (in the transparent tent hanging from a cliff) between Ajay and Erika Kaar has been trimmed a bit.” Adds the source, “The Board further felt that the film should get a U certificate as there was nothing else to warrant cuts. Even the violence and action scenes are not of the gory kind. It being a Diwali release, Ajay has made the film keeping family audience in mind. He will get the CBFC certificate today”. But turns out the Board has not even watched the film. Ajay Devgn just clarified that.  

Ajay took to Twitter to reveal the news saying, “Just for your information guys, censor is yet to see Shivaay. I will update as soon as the censor is done.” Obviously, the Board has not watched it and so all talks about it getting just a single cut doesn’t hold true anymore.

As we all know Ajay’s movie is clashing with Karan Johar’s directorial Ae Dil Hai Mushkil this Diwali i.e. October 28. A lot has been going on in that front since ADHM has been embroiled in a controversy for having Pakistani artistes in the film. Everybody is pretty tensed about the film. There were reports that CBFC has ordered a few cuts on ADHM including a kiss and a few love making scenes. Later it was announced that the film has been awarded a U/A certificate. Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios, adds, “Karan Johar’s films present love in its most purest yet unique and modern way and this Diwali he is celebrating love, friendship and heartbreak. We are set for the film’s release on October 28. There can be no better way than celebrating Diwali with Ae Dil, a quintessential family entertainer.”
So the clash is still on and while on that, this is what Ajay feels about it, “The audience would know which is a better film and that will take away all the benefits. The audience gets divided. Eventually, what will happen is, we are not talking about the first day. It is a pre-Diwali day and we don’t expect a very big number because people are busy. By the time you come to Monday, which is like the first day, audience will know which is a better film and that will take away all the benefits.”
Let the better film win. What say people?
