The makers of Vedaa have issued an official statement on Thursday addressing the issue and have urged for support from those who can help.

John Abraham and Sharvari's upcoming film Vedaa is aiming for an August 15 release. However, the movie is still waiting for clearance from the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The makers of Vedaa have issued an official statement on Thursday addressing the issue and have urged for support from those who can help. The official statement shared by the makers reads, "We, the producers of Vedaa feel compelled to share with our fans and supporters that despite our best efforts, we are still to secure a clearance and certification from the CBFC of India.” It went on to add that the production house had complied with the rules and sent the film eight weeks before release. Vedaa was screened on June 25 and then advanced for the examining committee's review. Since then, there has been no response regarding the appeal for certification."

It further added, "It is our earnest request and wish that these words reach those who are able to help us resolve and dissipate this impasse and have our film certified. August 15th is a special date that we are fortunate to find ourselves in a position to bring our film to fans of John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani, who have supported our previous releases Satyamev Jayate and Batla House on the same date."

“Vedaa is a powerful, out-and-out entertaining film, inspired by current events. We believe it deserves to reach its audience. It is our sincere endeavour that we will be able to keep our appointment with you,” it concluded.

Alongside John Abraham and Sharvari, the film stars Tamannaah Bhatia, Abhishek Banerjee, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Kshitij Chauhan in significant roles.
