Shane Nigam’s new film Soul of Haal has hit a roadblock after the Central Censor Board ordered the removal of a beef‑biryani scene and a dialogue that references a ceremonial salute, “Dhwaja Pranama, the team is on guard.” The request has stalled the film’s certification, delaying its release.
In last‑minute action, the makers filed a petition with the Kerala High Court, arguing that cutting those moments weakens the story. The court now faces a test case that pits artistic expression against strict censorship rules—a tension that has kept fans and industry insiders on edge.
“Soul of Haal” was meant to hit screens on September 12, but the new legal hurdle pushed that date back. The debutante director Veer swings a high‑budget production that marks one of Shane Nigam’s largest projects to date. Female lead Sakshi Vaidya teams up with a strong ensemble, including Johnny Antony, Nath, Vineeth Beep Kumar, K. Madhupal, Joy Mathew, and Bollywood singer Ankith Tiwari’s Malayalam debut.
The film is set to roll out in five languages—Malayalam, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada—making it one of the most ambitious multilingual releases this year. Every creative decision counts for distributors hoping to tap a wide audience.
The outcome of the High Court’s ruling is much‑anticipated by fans and movie watchers. Until the judgment is issued, “Soul of Haal” remains on the awaiting list, and curiosity over Shane Nigam’s latest performance only grows higher.
