Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday claimed that his upcoming film Thackeray, a biopic on his party's founder Balasaheb Thackeray, has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Speaking at the music launch of the film, Raut said its Marathi version will be soon certified by the board.

"Hindi version of the film has been cleared by the censor. The Marathi version will go to the censor day after tomorrow. It is different in a way and our team is at work for the same," Raut told reporters. However, there was no confirmation from the board.
