Selvamani, who is known for controversial films based on the current affairs of our nation, is ready with ‘Pulanvisaranai – 2’. As expected, the movie has met with a lot of problems when it was sent for censorship.

The movie is based on petrol issue and the director is believed to have made many sensational and controversial observations on the issue. Censor board members keenly watched each and every scene keeping the track record of the director in mind and they found many scenes objectionable. When they said they wanted many scenes and dialogues removed or changed, Selvamani got upset and argued with the members.

It is worth recalling that Selvamani’s previous movie ‘Kutra Pathirigai’ too encountered severe problems in the process of censorship.  The movie, based on the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, was rejected by the board but Selvamani got the permission to release the film by approaching the court

Now the tug of war between censor board and Selvamani over ‘Pulanvisaranai – 2’ has begun. However, it might not be a big problem for the director, who is used for such tussles.
