The film was granted the certification after making a few edits over some &#8216;objectionable&#8217; scenes. <\/p>\n<p>Screen dominance<\/p>\n<p> The film\u2019s release sets the stage for a major box-office clash with Rajinikanth\u2019s &#8216;Coolie&#8217;, releasing the same weekend. However, early distribution data indicates that &#8216;War 2&#8217; dominates the Hindi belt, with 90% of single screens secured.
