Horror Film '418' Faces Censor Snag Over Spookiness
3 Sep
Summary
- Film '418' denied censor clearance due to excessive horror elements.
- Director Prashanth Neel's production '418' misses July 31 release.
- Filmmakers appeal to Revising Committee after initial CBFC rejection.
The upcoming horror film '418', a production backed by KGF director Prashanth Neel, has encountered a significant obstacle in its certification process. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has reportedly raised objections to the film's content, citing an excess of horror elements. This development has stalled the film's planned July 31 release.
The team behind '418', which marks Kirtan Nadagouda's directorial debut, has now escalated the matter to the Revising Committee in pursuit of a censor certificate. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, had unveiled its first look in early July, generating anticipation.
This situation has sparked considerable discussion online, with many finding it ironic that a horror film would be flagged for its frightening content. Some social media users suggested granting the film an 'A' certificate to allow its release.
'418' stars Surya Raj, Charan Lakkaraju, and Preethi Pagadal. Its theatrical release date remains uncertain and will likely be announced once the certification issues are resolved.
