Kajol’s upcoming film 'Maa' has become a rare horror film to receive a U/A certificate from the CBFC, with no cuts demanded — an unexpected move for a genre usually marked by A certifications due to graphic content.

No cuts for Maa

Ahead of its theatrical release, the CBFC’s approval of Maa has come as a sweet surprise, especially considering recent controversies involving bizarre or excessive cuts. Many expected the board to go heavy on edits for a horror film.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Maa was passed without any audio or visual cuts, which is quite rare. Even Aamir Khan’s clean family drama Sitaare Zameen Par had to undergo several changes demanded by the CBFC before its release.
