Raman Raghav 2.0 was not without its share of controversies. Director Anurag Kashyap, who had previously clashed with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over his film Udta Punjab , was comparatively more fortunate with Raman Raghav 2.0 . He described the censor board as "the kindest" to this film, though he still resisted any cuts.
