Did Raid 2 certification change due to Tamannaah Nasha

Did Raid 2 certification change due to Tamannaah Nasha. Ajay Devgn's Raid2 is slated for a grand release on 1 May 2025. The film is directed by Rajkumar Gupta and stars Vaani Kapoor as the female lead. Tamannaah did a special song Nasha and it is going viral on social media.

The film got U/A certificate from the censor board and has the runtime of 138 minutes. Now people are wondering whether the Raid2 censor certification U/A7+ was changed to U/A13+ due to Tamannaah's special song.

Reacting to it, producer Abhishek Pathak said “It’s not because of the song. We had a few cuts in the film, and we committed to a few more—that’s why the certification was supposed to change. But it’s still a U/A certification, so there’s no problem at all. These cuts don’t affect or interfere with the story in any way. The film has been cleared without any [visual] cuts. It’s U/A 13+ without any cuts right now,"

He added “Nasha was conceived a little later. We wanted a certain character to uplift another character, and we wanted that to come into the film in a particular way. It has been stitched very beautifully into the film."

He continued “If you see the film, you won’t feel that it comes at an odd moment or was added later. It has been blended very well into the narrative. People will really enjoy it, including the song by Yo Yo Honey Singh." As for producer Bhushan Kumar, he disagrees with the notion that including a dance number was a ‘marketing tool.’ “People might feel that in a thriller like Raid 2, the songs would seems forced. But it’s not a marketing tool. It became a part of the story so well," he states.

Elaborating further, he said “Even the last track we have by Yo Yo Honey Singh is well-linked to the film. You’ll feel that it’s connected. All four songs we have were part of the screenplay." Talking about roping in Tamannaah for the track, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak says, “The moment we thought of this song, the unanimous opinion was to have Tamannaah in it. We decided to speak to her, so both Bhushan ji and I had a chat with her, and she came on board."
