The comic caper Rahu Ketu, starring Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Shalini Pandey, Piyush Mishra, Chunky Panday, Amit Sial, Manu Rishi Chadha and Sumit Gulati, is all set to release on Friday, January 16. Earlier in the week, the makers completed the censor process on time. In this article, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively focus on the cut list.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed the film with a U/A 16+ certificate. However, they asked the makers for a few changes. In a scene, a dialogue was replaced. The drug sniffing and snorting visuals were asked to be replaced with appropriate shots wherever they occurred in the film. The middle finger was asked to be modified to the pinky finger whenever shown in the movie. All alcohol brand names were asked to be removed.

That's not all. The makers were asked to submit an authentication letter for the Sanskrit Shloka used in the film. Lastly, the Examining Committee asked the makers to replace 'Kantara film music (voom) scream'.

Once these changes were made, the makers of Rahu Ketu were handed over the censor certificate on Monday, January 12. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 139.40 minutes. In other words, Rahu Ketu is 2 hours, 19 minutes and 40 seconds long.

Rahu Ketu is backed by Zee Studios and B-Live Productions Pvt Ltd and produced by Umesh Kumar Bansal, Suraj Singh and Varsha Kukreja. It marks the return of Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma after their successful association in the Fukrey series. Interestingly, Vipul Vig, who was the writer of Fukrey (2013), Fukrey Returns (2017) and Fukrey 3 (2023), makes his directorial debut with Rahu Ketu.

Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Chunky Panday and Shalini Pandey promoted Rahu Ketu at the Bollywood Hungama OTT India Fest and India Entertainment Awards 2025. Pulkit Samrat said, “Since the time the first part of Fukrey released, Varun and I have been getting lots and lots of offers to do a film together. Aur bahut dukh hota hai kyunki humein bahut paise offer hote hai. When we reject so much money is when we realize that hum acche insaan hai! Hum sirf kaam ki kadar karte hai.”

He continued, “We were always very clear that if we both do a film together other than the Fukrey series, it has to be very interesting and a grade above than Fukrey. That is where Rahu Ketu comes in. It's a very exciting and fantastical world with very exciting characters. The way the story unfolds is heartwarming.”

Dhurandhar is all over the internet and it has become a big talking point thanks to its real-life references, performances, certain moments and of course the music. A day after its release on December 5, the song ‘FA9LA’, featuring Akshaye Khanna’s character Rehman Dacait, making a dramatic entry at a celebration in Balochistan, has gone viral. The song is very catchy and there’s no way an active social media user hasn’t seen its videos and Reels. In an interview with Mid-Day, choreographer Vijay Ganguly shared some interesting trivia about working on the track. Vijay Ganguly began by saying that the dance was done spontaneously by Akshaye Khanna. He said, “Originally, he was supposed to enter, walk through the dancers, and sit on the throne. Seeing the scene’s mood and the dancers’ performance, the fantastic actor that Akshaye is, he said he would dance a bit when he walks in. None of us knew what he was going to do. Akshaye entered the scene, took it from that point, and spontaneous...
