Sanjay Dutt starrer Aakhri Sawal gets CBFC clearance; makers lock May 15 release date
The makers of Aakhri Sawal have officially announced the film’s new release date after resolving recent certification delays with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Headlined by Sanjay Dutt, the film is now slated for a grand theatrical release on May 15, 2026.
Along with confirming the release date, the team also unveiled a new poster featuring the ensemble cast and announced that the much-awaited trailer of the film will be launched tomorrow.
Aakhri Sawal has been generating considerable curiosity ever since its announcement, particularly due to its teaser which hinted at politically and historically sensitive themes linked to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
The teaser had sparked widespread discussion online for its intense tone and references to historical events.
However, the film recently encountered hurdles during the CBFC review process, leading to uncertainty around both its release schedule and promotional campaign.
The certification delay reportedly put the trailer launch plans on hold while the makers awaited official clearance.
Now, with the censor process completed and the film receiving the green signal, the production team has resumed its promotional rollout.
Sharing the latest poster on social media, the makers wrote, “Tomorrow, the nation will witness the truth.
The wait is over — the most awaited trailer drops tomorrow.
