Amid the CBFC controversy, Sivakarthikeyan`s Parasakthi was finally granted certification a day ahead of release, but only after about 25 cuts were made to the film. The actor has now broken his silence on the issue

Parasakthi
Actor Sivakarthikeyan and the team of Parasakthi have been on their toes for the past few days as they awaited clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ahead of its release. The film has now finally received a UA certificate but only after as many as 25 cuts and modifications merely hours before its scheduled release. Sivakarthikeyan has now reacted to the last-minute censor approval.
In an exclusive interview with India Today Digital, he spoke about the long wait for the censor certificate, saying "The Censor Board operates according to their own regulations and criteria. Our team`s complete focus was on how we could implement the changes they suggested in a way that wouldn`t affect the creativity of the film. We didn`t have time to figure out why they suggested these changes."
