This weekend's release, Shaitaan, featuring Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, and Jyotika, has garnered attention as the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted it a U/A rating with a few adjustments. In anticipation of the film's launch, reports reveal that the CBFC has asked to make some changes in the movie. A remake of the Gujarati film Vash, Shaitaan, hinted at a plot centered around black magic in its trailer. Notably, the Censor Board instructed the inclusion of a voiceover featuring a disclaimer against endorsing black magic. Director Vikas Bahl was also directed to replace an abusive word with a scream, while one scene faced the cutting room floor.

Shaitaan to have these changes for U/A certification

According to News18, in a rather intense scene, the CBFC has requested the filmmakers to reduce the visuals of blood dripping from the mouth by 25%. Additionally, the film is now required to include a message on responsible liquor consumption. These adjustments have brought the total runtime of Shaitaan to 132 minutes. In terms of scenes, the movie is set to undergo changes, with one scene being cut and four scenes modified. It's worth noting that the Censor Board has specifically called for a voiceover with a disclaimer discouraging the support of black magic.
