According to reports, from changing words to removing sensuous content the CBFC had suggested several cuts. It is unclear if the cuts will also be removed from the OTT version. As per the cut list shared by Bollywood Hungama, the makers have been asked to remove 'sensuous and explicit' visuals from the song 'Tehas Nehas'. Other two scenes and vulgar-induced dialogues of Choksi Seth (Swananad Kirkire) staring lecherously at Pooja (Ananya Panday) have been removed.
