With just a couple of days left for its grand release on October 2, the team behind Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has completed the necessary censor formalities. The film, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, went through the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and has been passed with a U/A certificate after a few changes were made.
Fans are eagerly booking their tickets, and this latest update from the censor board gives a clearer picture of what to expect from the family entertainer.
The Censor Board’s Changes
According to the official report from the CBFC, the film was cleared with only two modifications. The most significant change is a reduction in the duration of a lip-lock scene between the lead actors. The examining committee asked the makers to trim the kissing visuals by 60%, suggesting that the scene was longer in the original cut. This is a common request for films aiming for a wider family audience.
The second change involves muting the word ‘guard’ wherever it appears in the film. While the exact context isn’t clear, it is speculated that the word might have been used in a double-meaning joke. The report also mentioned that the makers were required to add the standard anti-alcohol warning slate.
Final Certificate And Runtime
After these changes were implemented, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari was officially awarded a U/A 13+ certificate, making it accessible to a broad audience. The final runtime of the film is locked at 135.45 minutes, which translates to 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 45 seconds. This runtime is perfect for a romantic comedy, promising a tight and engaging story without dragging.
The film is directed by Shashank Khaitan, who has previously worked with Varun and Janhvi on other successful projects. It boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, and Akshay Oberoi, who are all set to bring their own charm to the story.
A Fun Moment From The Trailer Launch
The team has been promoting the film with great energy. During the trailer launch event in Mumbai on September 15, the entire cast was present except for Sanya Malhotra. When asked about her absence, Varun Dhawan jokingly said, “Sanya is a very important part of the team. Sabse best baal unke hi hai! We have got a cut-out of Sanya so that we don’t miss her!”
Adding to the fun, Maniesh Paul quipped as Sanya’s cutout was brought on stage, “Pehli baar, Sanya sabse jaldi tayyar bhi hai kyunki baal, make up kuch nahin karna pada!” The lighthearted moment showed the great chemistry and fun environment on the film’s set.
