Rajinikanth starrer Kabali has been censored and given a clean U certificate. The producer of the movie Kalaipuli S Thanu immediately announced that the movie will be released in a gala manner across the country on 22 July.
On Monday afternoon, Kabali was screened for censors at Bofta Film Institute and was awarded ‘U’ certificate. Thanu had apparently shared his happiness through his twitter handle- “ # Kabali has been certified Clean ‘U’- Runtime – 152 mins. Let the celebration begin . # Magizhchi @superstarrajini@beemji”. He also announced that Kabali will be released worldwide on July 22.
Directed by Pa Ranjith, it features Radhika Apte opposite Rajinikanth. Dhanshikaa, Kalaiarasan, John Vijay, Dinesh are also in the cast. Music is by Santosh Narayanan. Plans are on to release the movie in maximum screens. Rajinikanth plays an ageing don in the movie.
The movie is expected to release in Taamil, telugu and Hindi simultaneously on the day.
Says Ranjith, ‘Kabali has a social message. In fact, every film of mine will definitely have one. I don’t want to preach, but I definitely want my films to open up discussions among the audience on a given issue, and about the way I have perceived and portrayed it. I have a purpose to being here — it’s the one reason I wanted to be a filmmaker in the first place. Cinema is a popular medium, we can communicate a lot of things to the masses, and I want to do that.’
