The Telugu film ‘Bhogi’, starring Sharwanand, has had its theatrical release delayed after the Central Board of Film Certification sent it to a revising committee for further review.
The upcoming Telugu drama ‘Bhogi’, featuring actor Sharwanand, was scheduled for a theatrical launch this month. However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has referred the film to its revising committee, halting the planned release until further clearance is granted.
The decision was announced shortly after a pre‑release promotional event, where the cast and crew interacted with media and fans. No official statement has detailed the specific concerns that prompted the referral, and the CBFC has not indicated a revised release date.
Industry observers note that such referrals are routine when the board seeks additional scrutiny of content, but they can delay a film’s market entry. The producers are expected to work with the revising committee to address any issues and secure certification.
Until the board issues a final certificate, theatres across the country will not be able to screen ‘Bhogi’, affecting its promotional timeline and box‑office prospects.
