Overview
- The Central Board of Film Certification issued a U/A certificate on Wednesday after makers complied with requested edits that included blurring a condom brand name, replacing a vulgar hand gesture, shortening a shot that named Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, and adjusting dance visuals, and the runtime was recorded as 136.40 minutes.
- Advance bookings for the David Dhawan‑directed comedy opened on Tuesday ahead of its theatrical release on June 5.
- BookMyShow and the producers announced a 50% discount for opening‑day tickets that requires booking two seats and is capped at Rs. 200 off per ticket and valid only on release day.
- Multiple outlets have published figures saying the film was made for about Rs. 55 crore and listing reported cast fees (for example Varun Dhawan ~Rs. 30 crore; Mrunal Thakur ~Rs. 5 crore; Pooja Hegde ~Rs. 4 crore), but those salary numbers come from unnamed media reports and remain unverified.
- Varun Dhawan has spoken publicly about director David Dhawan's health struggles during production, saying his father was at one point in the ICU, and the makers are positioning the film as a family comedy that reintroduces the director’s signature broad‑comic style.
