Jr NTR’s highly anticipated release, Devara, has been building up considerable excitement amongst the audiences already. The project includes some prominent faces from across the film industry while the trailer of the Koratala Siva directorial has left fans intrigued as well. And now, days ahead of its release, Devara gets its censor board certification along with four important scenes from the film getting snipped.

As per an official press report issued by the makers of Devara, the film has finally gotten a U/A certification from the censor board, which means it is unrestricted for public viewing but with parental guidance for children under 12 years of age. 

As quoted by Hindustan Times, the report stated, “Sparking a tidal wave of excitement, man of masses NTR Jr’s Devara: Part 1 (Telugu) has been given the green light to cast off, securing a U/A certificate from the censor board.”

Well, that’s not all to the matter. The censor board certification came along with a twist of imposing a cut to four different yet crucial scenes of the movie. Out of them, three were rather direct representations of violence, such as a character kicking his wife in the stomach, and another character kicking his mother. 

The third scene gone under trim reportedly is a five-second shot of a dead character hanging through a sword, and thereafter sliding down through it. The final scene that has been axed includes the scene of Jr NTR riding on a shark. 

The censor board has asked to add a disclaimer to the scene by informing that the shark is not real and is made up of CGI graphics, thereby not promoting acts of harm against animals.

For the unversed, Devara has finalized a long run time of 3 hours and 10 minutes, hinting at an unparalleled cinematic experience for the viewers.

Coming to the cast of the film, besides Jr NTR in the lead role, the film stars Janhvi Kapoor as the leading lady and Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist. Other actors include Abhimanyu Singh, Shine Tom Chacko, Meka Srikanth, Chaithra Rai and others. 

Ileana D’Cruz is quite active on social media. She often shares glimpses of her husband Michael Dolan and son, Koa Phoenix Dolan, with her fans and followers. Recently, the Barfi actress dropped the most adorable birthday wish for her ‘babycakes.’

Today, on September 13, Ileana D’Cruz took to her Instagram stories and posted an adorable birthday wish for her husband, Michael Dolan. The first photo was a monochrome snap in which the couple was seen posing for a sweet selfie while sitting in the car. In the snap, we can see Ileana resting her head on her husband’s shoulder while her husband leaned on her. “Happy birthday babycakes” followed by sparkle emoji read the caption alongside the post.

The following story was a small video clip of the duo enjoying their time beside the pool. In the video, we can see Ileana’s husband in the pool sporting goofy and quirky poses while she recorded him. “You make everything better (accompanied by a red heart and sparkle emoji) I love you (accompanied by smiling and red-heart emojis)” She also added Johnny Stimson’s Honeymoon song in the background.
