Mumbai: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has awarded a U/A 16+ certificate to the Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma starrer ‘Rahu Ketu’, while directing the makers to make a few changes in the film.
The mandated changes directed by the CBFC include replacing the ‘Kantara scream’ (a distinctive “voom” sound popularised in the 2022 film Kantara, rooted in cultural rituals), a dialogue, and visuals depicting drug sniffing and snorting.
Directed by Vipul Vig, the comedy drama is produced by Umesh Kumar Bansal, Pragati Deshmukh, Suraj Singh and Varsha Kukreja under Zee Studios and BLive Productions. The film reunites Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, known for their chemistry in the popular Fukrey series. The ensemble cast also features Shalini Pandey, Chunky Panday, Piyush Mishra, Amit Sial and Manu Rishi Chadha.
The film is scheduled to release in theatres on January 16.
Speaking about the film, Pulkit said, “This film captures everything audiences loved about ‘Fukrey’. Most importantly, it brings the two of us together again, and we had a fantastic time working on it. That joy and camaraderie truly come through on screen. The film is written by Vipul, who also penned all three Fukrey films.”
