The film was passed with a UA16+ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However, the film had to go through certain modifications. The dialogue 'Mughal sultanat ka zehar' (The venom of the Mughal Empire) was replaced with 'Uss samay, kayi shaasak aur sultanat khud ko zinda rakhne ki koshish kar rahe the' (In those dark times, countless rulers and kingdoms fought for survival). Another dialogue 'Khoon toh aakhir Mughalon ka hi hai' (The blood is of the Mughals after all) was changed to 'Khoon toh hai Aurang ka hi' (The blood is of Aurang after all). The words 'haramzaadon' and 'haramzaada' were muted while 'Aameen' was replaced with 'Jai Bhavani'. A certain dialogue in the first half was replaced while a scene showing Maratha warriors clad in a saree was also removed. Further, '16 saal' (16 years) was replaced with '14 saal' (14 years), '22 saal ka ladka' (22-year old boy) was replaced with '24 saal ka ladka' (24-year old boy) while '9 saal' (9 years) was modified to 'kayi saal' (many years). Lastly, the CBFC members asked the makers to insert an audio-text disclaimer stating the name of the book from which the film is adapted and that it doesn't intend to defame anybody or distort historical facts.
