Bollywood actor Sunny Deol is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Jaat. It is all set to hit the big screens on April 10, 2025. Now, ahead of its release, there's great news for fans. The film has received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Mythri Movie Makers, the production house behind Jaat, took to Instagram today (April 9) and dropped the poster of Jaat featuring Sunny Deol in a powerful avatar. Sharing the poster, they also revealed the certification in the caption and wrote, “U/A for #JAAT. Enjoy the MASS FEAST with an action-packed cinema.”
They also added, “#JAAT GRAND RELEASE WORLDWIDE ON APRIL 10th. #BaisakhiWithJaat.” The post has further amped up the anticipation among fans, as they gear up to witness Sunny Deol return to the big screen in full-on action mode this Baisakhi.
As soon as the announcement was made, fans flooded the comment section with excitement and admiration for Sunny Deol. A user wrote in the comment section, “Iconic Star Sunny deol...Aapne purane style main... Tahalka machane aa rahe hai.” While another wrote, “Pajii is back all-time blockbuster movie.” A fan also commented, “Mass.”
Meanwhile, as per a report in Bollywood Hungama, the makers of Jaat had to make 22 cuts before getting the green light from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Several strong words were either toned down or swapped entirely such as one expletive was replaced with Mad*rjaat, while others gave way to milder terms like Nikamma and Besharmo. Apart from this, the word Bharat was swapped for Hamara, and Central word was changed to Local.
CBFC also asked for several visual edits like a specific gesture was blurred, and a scene involving a female officer’s humiliation was trimmed by nearly half. Another sensitive scene involving inappropriate conduct by a male officer was also shortened. A scene of a body being cut was reduced by 30%, while the use of an e-cigarette was removed.
They also demanded CGI replacements in 10 separate scenes. These included intense visuals like throat slashing (in two scenes), a severed head placed on ice, an infant being mishandled, and a thumb being chopped. Additionally, symbols like the statue of Jesus Christ, the national emblem on a character’s forehead, and currency under people’s feet were all flagged for change.
In total, the film went through revisions in 22 different moments. These edits resulted in a reduction of 2 minutes and 6 seconds, with 1 minute and 37 seconds of new visuals added in their place. Following these tweaks, Jaat secured a U/A 16+ certification, with a final runtime clocking in at 2 hours, 33 minutes, and 31 seconds.
Meanwhile, Sunny Deol teams up for the very first time with renowned South filmmaker Gopichand Malineni for his upcoming film Jaat. This high-voltage entertainer is backed by Mythri Movie Makers and promises a powerful cinematic experience.
The film boasts a dynamic ensemble, including Randeep Hooda, Vineet Kumar Singh, Regina Cassandra, and Saiyami Kher. Adding to the excitement, Jaat also features Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda sharing the screen for the first time, with the latter stepping into the role of an antagonist, Ranatunga.
On the work front, Sunny Deol has an interesting lineup ahead. He will be next seen in Rajkumar Santoshi’s much-awaited period action drama Lahore 1947, which is being produced by Aamir Khan and also stars Preity Zinta in a pivotal role.
Apart from this, the senior actor is all set to return to the battlefield in Border 2, the sequel to his iconic 1997 war film Border. This time, he’ll be joined by Varun Dhawan.
