What is with Tamil Cinema and censor board these days.If the month of January was filled with 'Vishwaroopam' , 'Vanayutham' had a fair share of contribution to this in February and today Ameer has brought up a fresh accusation against the censor board.While leaving to Malaysia to promote AadhiBhagavan he called the censor board as a "mafia group".
His latest movie 'Aadhibhagavan' which released on the 22nd of February was given a A certificate.Ameer alleges that the censor board had asked him a certain bribe amount to certify the movie as U/A or U.Since our industry is just fresh out of the controversy which surrounded 'Vishwaroopam' he says that he did not want to rake this controversy up now.But he also reveals that the censor board is even trying to stop his movie from running in Malaysia since he has not heeded to the censor's board bribe demands.
The movie was granted A certificate after several cuts and muting certain dialogues.Ameer tells the movie was granted A certificate despite it not having any scenes which could be termed provocative.Also the songs of the movie could not be screened on television since it had a A certificate , the censor board had to chop off visuals which had liquor bottles and handed back to Ameer on 27th February.He alleges that till day not even a single scene of the movie has been given to him to be shown on television for promotional purposes.
Ameer signed off by saying producing a movie would be a impossible task if the censor board continues to function the way it is now.
