The new Jackie Chan-Sonu Sood starrer Kung Fu Yoga, an Indo-Chinese co-production was viewed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) aka the Censor Board, on Wednesday, and was granted a clean chit.

“The CBFC made one verbal cut regarding a remark pertaining to Buddhism, and didn’t touch a single shot in the film. They granted Kung Fu Yoga a ‘U/A’ certification on Wednesday and agreed to view the film in other languages, two days later,” says a source.

Praising the film and its Indian producer-actor Sonu Sood, Pahlaj Nihalani says, “At a time when corporate houses have taken over our movie business, it is commendable that Sonu has brought this big Jackie Chan film to India all on his own. It’s a fun film, clean and enjoyable. Jackie already has a huge fan following in India. But Sonu will have new fans in China after the film releases. We saw no reason to cut anything.”
