Censor Board clears Fahadh Faasil, Vadivelu's travel thriller 'Mareesan' for release with U/A certificate
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now cleared director Sudeesh Shankar's eagerly awaited travel thriller, 'Mareesan', featuring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu in the lead, for release with a U/A certificate. The film has triggered huge expectations as this is the second film that both actors, who are highly rated for their acting skills, are working together. The first film that they worked on together was Mari Selvaraj's socio-political drama 'Maamanan', which was not only a superhit but was also critically acclaimed. One other reason why 'Mareesan' has raised expectations-- not just among fans and film buffs but also industry insiders -- is that this film will be the 98th film of Super Good Films, a production house that is known for having produced several quality films and for having introduced several iconic directors of the Tamil film industry. Samantha Ruth Prabhu's 'Yashoda' gets U/A certification from CBFC A trailer of the film that was released recently by the makers has only gone on to add to the excitement of fans. The trailer gives away the fact that Fahadh Faasil plays a thief who is looking for his next victim. He happens to notice Vadivelu, an Alzheimer's patient, withdrawing a lump sum of cash. Vadivelu, who knows his memory is failing, decides he will go to a friend's place in Thiruvannamalai. Fahadh, seeing an opportunity to steal the money that Vadivelu has, offers to drop him there on his motorcycle. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Offer Valid for the First 100 Bookings Only Birla Estates Learn More Undo As the two begin to undertake the long journey, things change.
