Debut director RVR peeved at Censor Board

Anjukku Onnu is an upcoming flick about the travails of five boys who work as construction workers and how their life changes with the arrival of a girl. Debutant director RVR claims that he has documented the film in a realistic manner, but censors have objected to several scenes, resulting in a U/A Certification.

 

“Though there’s a good message in it, I have not made it preachy and packaged it with commercial elements. There’s a scene where the five boys spend a night with a prostitute at the construction place. I never wanted show it directly and instead shot it suggestively. Censors objected even to that scene despite my explainations that it was a crucial part of the storyline. 

 

They raised objections to many things — if I cut or mute those scenes which they suggested, it would mar the flow of events! Hence, I have to settle for U/A. It’s a clean film though, and you will understand when you watch it,” he says.
