Tamannaah Bhatia has been making waves for her song 'Nasha' after her song 'Aaj Ki Raat' from 'Stree 2' became a major hit. The song was a rage. While 'Nasha' could not exactly match up to the vibe which was created by 'Aaj Ki Raat', the song has still got decent popularity. This song of hers for 'Raid 2' might be considered a promotional tactic, however, the producers have now denied it and revealed that it has been beautifully stitched into the story. Meanwhile, 'Raid 2' starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Vaani Kapoor has got a UA certificate which means the film is suitable for unrestricted public exhibition, but with a parental guidance advisory for children under 12 years of age.
The producers have also clarified that this UA certificate is not because of Tamanaah's song. 'Raid 2' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak. In an interview with News18 Showsha, Kumar clarified, "It’s not because of the song. We had a few cuts in the film, and we committed to a few more—that’s why the certification was supposed to change. But it’s still a U/A certification, so there’s no problem at all. These cuts don’t affect or interfere with the story in any way. The film has been cleared without any [visual] cuts. It’s U/A 13+ without any cuts right now."
Abhishek echoed his sentiments and said, "Nasha was conceived a little later. We wanted a certain character to uplift another character, and we wanted that to come into the film in a particular way. It has been stitched very beautifully into the film. If you see the film, you won’t feel that it comes at an odd moment or was added later. It has been blended very well into the narrative. People will really enjoy it, including the song by Yo Yo Honey Singh"
Kumar further said, “People might feel that in a thriller like Raid 2, the songs would seem forced. But it’s not a marketing tool. It became a part of the story so well."
