The word Disco CM was axed and the words Pandit and Hindu were deleted wherever these terms were associated with cuss words. Lastly, the name of the university, shown in the film, has been changed from JNU to ANU.When contacted, writer-director Vivek Agnihotri exclusively told KYF that the examining committee of the CBFC had initially asked for a long list of cuts and that he had to fight it out. He said, For instance, (the examining committee) had issues with the word Islamic terrorist. More than two dozen cuts were issued in all. However, I argued and showed them the documents and proof to support my point. Eventually, they allowed the film without these cuts. How can they dispute the facts after all? Vivek Agnihotri said that this whole process of convincing the CBFC members took around two months.When asked about changing the name of the university to ANU, Vivek Agnihotri replied, There were a lot of arguments done on this aspect. Then, I realized that changing the universitys name from JNU to ANU is not going to dilute the essence of the film. Also, I didnt want to unnecessarily surround myself with court cases. Hence, I decided to make the change.The makers of The Kashmir Files were handed over the censor certificate on November 3, 2021. The final duration of the film is 170 minutes, that is, 2 hours and 50 minutes. It stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumaar, Pallavi Joshi and Puneet Issar.

Superstar Prabhas won everyones hearts with his act in Bahubali The Beginning (2015). With Baahubali 2 The Conclusion (2017), he achieved greater heights and turned into a pan-India superstar. This was reflected in the huge opening of his next film, Saaho (2019). As a result, the expectations are tremendous from his next film, Radhe Shyam.
