Bharath's horror thriller Pottu gets U/A

We saw actor Bharath in a role with negative shades in Vijay Milton’s Kadugu. He is making his Tollywood debut with Spyder (which is also made in Tamil) where he plays a powerful role of an antagonist to Mahesh Babu. Yet another pending film Simba with a quirky subject is waiting for its release.

Meanwhile, the actor’s horror thriller Pottu directed by Vadivudayan is said to have its theatrical release soon. The movie, set against the backdrop of a medical college, has three female leads namely Namitha, Iniya and Srushti Dange.

Namitha will be seen in a witch in a negative role, attempting something which was earlier done only by male actors. She portrays an Aghori and has underwent an image makeover for the role. Actor Bharath will also be sporting different looks. In an earlier interview to us, Bharath said that it is his first endeavour in the horror comedy genre and he enjoyed the shooting immensely. Iniya essays the title role of Pottu and is paired opposite to Bharath. Amreesh has scored the numbers.

Produced by Shalom Studios, close sources say that the movie was given an  ‘A’ certificate owing to its horror content. Later, when the makers applied to the revising committee, reportedly, they suggested muting a few words  and demanded minor cuts. Later, the film was given a U/A certificate.
