Bhatt is currently busy promoting the film which releases on Friday. She addressed the media and said, "There have been some minor cuts that have been asked by the board and we respect that completely and that has been coordinated but whatever cut you're talking about ("Khela hobe" dialogue) is not the case. The final cut is seamlessly flowing regardless of these minor cuts."

More about the cuts suggested by CBFC
The trailer had some references to Mamata Banerjee's party's political slogan. Reportedly, CBFC has removed all political references, replaced Old Monk with "Bold Monk," and censored some cuss words. The romantic comedy promises a typical Johar flavor and the cast includes Tota Roy Chowdhury, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Churni Ganguly, Shabana Azmi, and Ranveer Singh, among others. Currently, the film's songs are topping the charts.
