The search with the film title leads to a list of the film songs and promo video totaling 7 that have been censored and the portions ( words ) that have been muted or replaced. Media reports said that the film trailor of duration 1.52 minutes with English subtitles was censored with a U and CBFC officials was praise for the actor and the film.

The delay is in the actor’s words - "A few new NOCs are still pending for approval, and we understand the wait is inevitable as this adverse time is demanding more and more focus on the nation and its priorities, than anything else! Unfortunately, the wait for the film's release will now be a little longer than anticipated,"   So is this why CBFC pulled out censor details of SP? It finds in the list of films certified in July but no cut list is available.

Was CBFC misled in giving a certificate by stating that all NOC was got from IAF ? Or did IAF after watching the trailor, asked CBFC to hold back release?. After Gunjan Saxena film, there was criticism that IAF base and aircrafts were used in a film which showed men pilots as MCP’s.

Court ordered to be removed from the film. The cut list says – Keezh jaathi udambukkulla keezh jaathi udambukulla oduradhu saakkadaiyaa",- word keezh jaathi has to be muted, vide June 5th cert no VIS/1/193/2020-Che.
