CBFC Clears Nishaanchi with U/A, Requests Edits Ahead of Release
Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film *Nishaanchi* has received a U/A certificate, but the censor board has asked for specific dialogue changes before its theatrical release.
Nishaanchi, directed by Anurag Kashyap, has been granted a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification. However, the board has requested modifications to a specific dialogue, insisting on a change to ensure compliance with national guidelines. While no visual cuts were mandated, this decision has become a talking point among filmmakers and audiences alike.
The film—set to release on September 19—has already generated buzz for its gritty portrayal of political activism and female rebellion. In fact, Salman Khan himself praised the Nishaanchi poster, calling it bold and timely. But the censor board’s direction could influence how certain scenes are perceived, especially when it comes to their language and messaging.
Producer Anurag Kashyap has expressed his respect for the board’s decision, stating that he’s willing to make the adjustments to ensure the film reaches a wide audience without dilution. It’s a reminder that even in 2025, filmmakers are still navigating the fine line between creative expression and regulatory boundaries. Many are now watching closely to see how these edits will impact the tone of Nishaanchi, and whether audiences will notice the changes when the film arrives in theaters.
