Tiger Shroff is all set to return in a darker and more violent version of his upcoming movie Baaghi 4. Sanjay Dutt will play the role of a menacing antagonist in the film. Helmed by A. Harsha and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Baaghi 4 has been generating a lot of buzz online for being an intense action-thriller with a heavy emotional core. The trailer established a grim narrative, with Tiger Shroff's character Ronny fighting internal demons and memory loss after a tragedy involving his love interest, Alisha (Harnaaz Sandhu). Recently, on August 26, the CBFC granted an ‘A’ certificate to the movie. But it was not without some alterations.

Baaghi 4 is slated to release on September 5, and before entertaining the audience, the makers faced a small challenge in order to release the movie. According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the makers were asked to make 23 modifications, post which Baaghi 4 got an ‘A’ certificate. Days after its certification, on August 29, the makers approached the CBFC again, not with any objections, but even more voluntary cuts, bringing down the film’s runtime from 2 hours and 43 minutes to 2 hours and 37 minutes.
