HOT: SHOWING CONDOM IN FILM GETS U/A

Manall Kayiru 2 directed by Madhan Kumar features S Ve Shekher, Ashwin Shekher, Poorna, Visu and others and is the sequel of the comedy classic Manal Kayiru of 1982. The film recently went for Censors and has been given U/A.

Apparently, there was a discussion about this between S Ve Shekher and the Censor officer.

Elaborating on this in social media, S Ve Shekher says, “I went for the Censors of Manall Kayiru 2 as an Executive Producer of the film. After the screening, we were told that the film has been given a U/A.

I was told that the film has the word ‘figure’ and also shows condom. These were given as some of the reasons for U/A. I responded saying that the word ‘figure’ features in songs as well these days and about condom, government’s bulletin itself has the word. Then I was asked to remove the name of the condom, which I had never shown it anywhere. Like these, I clarified all the queries with a proper legal justification and proof.

It is not necessary to accept the U/A rating as I have not fixed the release date. I won’t go to RC but I will go to the High Court. I would first ask, on what basis Kabali was given a U certificate. Let the judge see my film and then I will accept whatever certificate he gives. I will fight till I get the right rating the film deserves.

I have acted in 95 films, produced 2 films and directed one film. All of them are clean U. Manall Kayiru 2 is also a clean U film only.

I would like to put on record the fear and anxiety of many producers of Tamil films today when it comes to dealing with Censors. My plea to all of them- Please don’t go to the Censors with a release date fixed. Also, don’t approach them with a mindset that you are an accused”.
