Salman Khan’s mass actioner ‘Sikandar’ is all set to hit theatres on March 30, bringing in Eid in style. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has passed the film with a UA 13+ rating. While the board did not suggest to the awaited actioner, there have been a few modifications to the scenes featuring political parties. Moreover, the makers have voluntarily chopped 14 minutes for the final runtime.

As per a Bollywood Hungama report, the board asked the makers of ‘Sikandar’ to mute the word ‘home’ from ‘Home Minister’ wherever required. Moreover, it also suggested that they blur the political party hoarding in a scene. The board approved the rest of the action and dialogue without any changes or modifications.
