What's the story
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has passed the upcoming film De De Pyaar De 2 without any cuts, reported Bollywood Hungama. This is a rare exception, considering CBFC usually imposes cuts or demands replacements in scenes or dialogues deemed inappropriate. A direct sequel to 2019's De De Pyaar De, the film stars Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan, and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles.
