Thamassu cleared with an A certificate
Thamassu,which has been the subject of discussion for a while,finally gets through the censors with an A certificate,of course with some cuts. The film,starring Shivarajakumar in the lead role,is an action flick and has Padmapriya playing the heroine. Directed by debutant Agni Sridhar,it is produced by M.S. Ravindra under the banner of Megha Movies.
The film had faced objection from the censor board as the members feared that some scenes and remarks about Hindu-Muslim relationships could lead to communal tensions. The makers,however,had a firm stand and maintained that there is nothing in the film that could cause communal issues. Anyway,after being submitted to the revising committee and after much deliberations,the film has been cleared with an A certificate and some cuts. Thamassu is now ready for release.
