CBFC objects to 5 swear words in Family Star
When the film was screened in Hyderabad for the CBFC, it was granted a U/A certificate. The censor board also muted certain swear words which were used in the rom-com. The objectionable language was used primarily in the scenes that are set in the backdrop of United States. In order to make Family Star age-appropriate with regard to family audiences, the censor officials suggested the makers to mute the curse words. The certification granted to Vijay-Mrunal's movie on April 2, 2024, has gone viral on social media. It mentions the duration to be around 2 hours, 43 minutes and 20 seconds. The five cuts have been described as excessive use of liquor labels in one song and five swear words.
