The director of the movie, Abhishek Kapoor, is elated with the news as now his movie will can be and enjoyed by all age groups.

“‘Kai Po Che!’ has got a U certificate from the censor board with no cuts. They saw the film for what it is and the spirit it is made in. I'm delighted,” said a very elated Abhishek Kapoor.

The movie that stars debutant actors Sushant Singh, Raj Kumar Yadav and Amit Sadh is about friendship, male bonding, their dreams, and aspirations and how they struggle to realize their goals while facing several roadblocks including their own mistakes.

According to a source, the Censor Board decided to award the movie a ‘U’ certificate because of the strong message the movie carries.

“The censor board wanted the movie to reach to the masses and go as wide as possible due to the very strong and powerful message it delivers and hence gave it a U-rating," a source close to the team told IANS.

The movie receiving an ‘U’ certificate has also pleased its producer Siddharth Roy Kapur.

“We commend the censor board for its progressive stance in passing Kai Po Che! with a U-certification. It bodes well for the new generation of filmmakers and studios that we have the active support and encouragement of the censor board to continue to create cinema that pushes the boundaries. Their spontaneous and effusive reaction to the film was very motivating for all of us associated with it," said Siddharth Roy Kapoor.

The movie will release on February 22.
