The highly anticipated comedy film *Welcome to the Jungle* is set to hit theaters in four days. Before its release, the film received the green light from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), albeit with instructions to edit 18 scenes.

When the makers submitted *Welcome to the Jungle* to the CBFC for certification, they were directed to modify 18 scenes. After the makers carried out these edits, the film was cleared with a UA 16+ certificate.

Which scenes faced the Censor Board's scissors?
Before granting the UA 16+ certificate, the Censor Board instructed the makers to alter 18 scenes, including specific dialogues and sensual sequences. A 10-second scene was also removed. A dialogue in the film—"Kala paida hua, koyla hai" (Born black, he is coal)—was changed to "Saada paida hua, namuna hua hai" (Born plain, he turned out to be a weirdo). References to "Pani of Kashmir" and "Gorkha Regiment" were replaced with the word "Army."

The word "Azharuddin" was changed to "Alauddin," while the word "Andha" (blind) was muted and replaced with "Dheela" (loose). References to "General" were changed to "Officer" and "Sir." Furthermore, the makers were instructed to modify scenes featuring bikinis and sensual content. A vulgar gesture by Vindu Dara Singh was also altered.

What is the film's runtime?
With these changes, the runtime for Akshay Kumar's film has been finalized at 2 hours, 44 minutes, and 50 seconds. This means the film will entertain audiences in theaters for 164 minutes and 50 seconds under the UA 16+ certification. The film is scheduled for release on June 26 and is directed by Ahmed Khan.
