The theatrical release received a total of 24 cuts in order to be cleared with an A (adults only) certificate. These cuts included removal of several cuss words, addition of anti-smoking disclaimers, deletion of scenes showing currency and passport burning, some lyrics in a song, a few scenes of violence and most importantly, the changing of film's title from Aadhi Bhagavan to Ameerin Aadhi-Bhagavan (to denote two characters as Aadhibhagavan is the name of a God) and the heroine's name from Kaali to Rani. A disclaimer about fiction was also added.
