RS Infotainment's MuppozhudhumUn Karpanaigal (MUK), featuring Adharva and Amala Paul and directed by producer-director Elred Kumar, is hot property in trade circles as it is touted to be a breezy romantic film. But the film's makers, who wanted to release it on the Valentine's Day weekend, were disappointed when they screened it for censor clearance. Apparently, after watching the high-intensity romantic musical, the censor board members cleared it with a U/A certification.
Sources say that the censors objected to a few comedy scenes in which Santhanam speaks dialogues that could hurt the sentiments of the physically challenged, as well as a few scenes that poked fun at veteran actors, and gave a U/A certificate to the film.
In a quick damage control measure, the director, who intended to get the family audience into theaters and avail government tax exemption, removed the unacceptable portions, muted some bits, and re screened the film to the board on the same day -he finally got a clean `U' certification. G. V.Prakash has composed the tracks for the film.
