Ayushmann Khurrana, who has now become the heroic face of bodily fluids —he played a sperm donor in Vicky Donor and now plays a victim of penile dysfunction in Shubh Mangal Saavdhan — can heave a sigh of relief.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) without any cuts and with a ‘U/A’ certificate.

Sources say the film’s makers expected to get an ‘A’ certificate, considering the sexual theme. However, they were pleasantly surprised when the new CBFC regime under Prasoon Joshi gave the film the nod without a single cut.

Delighted by the show of approval by the CBFC, the film’s leading man Ayushmann says, “I am so glad we got this all-clear from the CBFC. This just shows that the CBFC is progressive and supports the content of our film, which deals with performance-anxiety among men. When audiences see Shubh Mangal Saavdhan they’ll realise it’s a very important film.”
