KVN Productions, the studio behind the film, approached the Supreme Court in response to a January 9 ruling from a High Court Division Bench, which suspended the enforcement of a Single Judge Bench’s directive to issue a UA certificate for the film, consequently delaying its release just before Pongal. In its petition to the Supreme Court, the production house has listed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and its Regional Officer as respondents. Initially, the producers sought relief from the High Court, arguing that despite the CBFC’s examining committee granting it a U/A 16 certificate, the Board’s chairperson had referred the film to a revising committee.
