Bollywood Hungama said,”It is possible that the EC must have asked for many changes, which must have prompted War 2 makers to approach the RC.”
The insider added, “The Presiding Officer of the RC was Padma Shri Ramesh Patange. He is known to clear those films for which the EC has had reservations. Last year, he had cleared the controversial film Hamare Baraah and also Vedaa. The latter also had faced issues with the EC, after which the RC cleared the film, albeit with changes.”
