- Justice V. G. Arun will watch the film at 7 p.m. on October 25 at Padamugal Colour Planet studio in Kakkanad in the presence of the filmmakers and CBFC representatives.
- The CBFC’s revising committee recommended an A certificate subject to deletions and modifications, citing scenes such as eating beef biryani and a song sequence using a burqa.
- Other requested changes include blurring the name of Holy Angels College of Nursing, modifying a police interrogation scene, and obtaining consent for the depiction of the Thamarassery Bishop.
- Producer Juby Thomas and director Veera petitioned the court, arguing the contested scenes are integral to the narrative, noting a delayed September 12 release and production costs of about ₹15 crore.
- The court has allowed the Catholic Congress to intervene after it alleged the film hurts Christian sentiments and portrays the Bishop as endorsing interfaith marriages linked to “love jihad.”
