'Moggina Manasu' in censor battle
The second production of 'Mungaru Male' fame E.Krishnappa 'Moggina Manasu' is caught in the censor trouble. On the contents in the film the Bangalore regional censor board chief Chandrasekhar gave 'A' certificate and that has irked the producer. This is belittling of my prestige and it is not 'A' grade film argued the producer and also inquired with the women censor board members who were present. 'I am a responsible personality in the society'. What do the people think about me said Krishnappa to the censor members for denying the U certificate. You have done a film of teen age girls that is the reason why we are forced to give the 'A' certificate said the censor chief. The attitude of E.Krishnappa has perturbed the censor chief in the heated exchange of words. Producer Krishnappa did not agree for the 'A' certificate. The censor chief Chadrasekhar did not budge. Now a letter of complaint from each of them has reached the Karnataka film chamber of commerce. The intervention of the President of Kannada film producers association Sandesh Nagaraj in this case has not been fruitful. Meanwhile the regional censor board has approached the Mumbai office for finalizing the certificate. 'Moggina Manasu' scheduled for release on 28th of April has now been postponed. The theatre booking, hoardings displayed and prints ordered has affected the producer E.Krishnappa to the extent of Rs.40 lakhs says the production in-charge Mr Pratap.
'Moggina Manasu' gets U/A
The controversial film 'Moggina Manasu' after rejected by the Bangalore Regional Censor Board approached the Tribunal in New Delhi and come out with U/A certificate. Taking into consideration the arguments of the regional officer and the views of the people of Karnataka as projected by the regional officer ' the Tribunal is of the view that the film 'Moggina Manasu' can be granted 'UA' certificate instead of 'A' certificate because the theme is beneficial for the teenagers in particular the girls says the Tribunal order copy. Quite content with 'UA' certificate from Tribunal producer Krishnappa throws a challenge at this stage. The five percent of the media say that it deserved 'A' certificate as claimed by Regional Censor Board he is ready to take any punishment. In the last three months the struggle he faced and his preoccupation with the recent elections producer of 'Mungaru Male' fame Krishnappa has lost Rs.40 lakhs. Three months ago before going to regional censor he had booked the 40 theatres all over Karnataka. The chaos he faced in regional certification committee made him to postpone the film. In the process he had to pay one week rent of all theatres for prior booking. According to director Shashank of 'Moggina Manasu' the certificate for the film should have been 'M' ' meaning mandatory. The 16 to 18 age group boys and girls have a strong message in this film. The targeted audience is that of teenagers. The purpose is defeated when the regional censor board certified it as 'A' certificate says the director. We had to approach the Tribunal. Supporting his stand director Shashank says the regional censor board without analyzing the film within a fraction of second offered only 'A' certificate and there was no chance for the argument. The Tribunal that watched the film did not do so. They took one week time and understanding the pros and cons offered 'UA' certificate recalls Shashank. 'Moggina Manasu' is now set for release on 17th of this month.
