A day after Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj was removed from Zee5, another film dealing with a socially relevant subject is facing uncertainty before its release. The India Story: Slow Poison in Progress, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Shreyas Talpade, is currently awaiting certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ahead of its planned theatrical release on July 24, 2026.

The film explores the use of pesticides in farming and their impact on human health. It aims to raise awareness about the hidden dangers linked to food production and encourage conversations around a public health issue that affects millions.

While the teaser has generated interest for its subject, the film is yet to receive CBFC clearance, leaving its release uncertain.

Reacting to the situation, director Chettan DK said the recent developments surrounding Satluj and the delay in certification for The India Story have been difficult for filmmakers tackling sensitive topics.
