The Central Board of Film Certification greenlit the movie after suggesting a few cuts. However, the Dangal actor was reluctant to make changes. After the issue was resolved, CBFC granted a UA 13+ certificate to the movie. This means that the movie is suitable for the kids above 13 years of age but the children below that age bracket must have parental guidance.
Furthermore, the sports comedy drama has also been cleared by the British Board, and it has already given a green signal for the movie to release in the UK. It has received 12A+ certificate from the BBFC.
