Four days before its release, the makers announced that the film had been pushed to June 12. They also revealed that the film had been retitled Heer Sara. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the delay and change in title happened due to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A source told Bollywood Hungama, “A few scenes and themes didn’t seem acceptable to the CBFC’s Examining Committee, which viewed the film.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has faced heavy scrutiny in the last two weeks. The cuts given to Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Bandar were criticized. Meanwhile, CBFC asked for cuts in two crucial scenes in Obsession and it led to a huge uproar on social media which continued for many days. Meanwhile, this week, the CBFC has sprung a pleasant surprise by passing three crucial films with zero cuts. The Kangana Ranaut-starrer Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, based on the 26/11 terror attacks, was passed with a U/A 16+ rating on May 29.
