'Druj' lead actor and producer, Shamoon, was furious about the ban and had been voicing his disappointment through social media. He went on to launch an appeal for a second viewing to the censor board.

The film has finally been cleared after a second viewing by the Central Censor Board. “Some of the really graphic scenes have been removed for obvious reasons, other than that the film is good to go,” a censor board official told The Express Tribune. The film has already been released worldwide.
