Hari Nair is the cinematographer of the film[13] [14] Resul Pookutty [15]
In India, the Central Board of Film Certification refused to certify the movie for public release in India.[16]
Censorship
[ edit ]
In India, the film was refused certification by the Examining Committee. A revising committee of the Censor Board proposed cuts to the director, Raj Amit Kumar . He refused and appealed against the Censor Board's demand for cuts to the Indian Government's Information and Broadcasting Appellate Tribunal FCAT. In response to his appeal, the authorities completely banned the film regardless of cuts.[17] [18] [19]
In a video released on April 9, 2015 on YouTube , Raj Amit Kumar states that the Censor Board should rate or certify a movie, instead of banning and offering cuts. He also said that he would keep sending signed petitions to the Prime Minister and Censor Board, until there is a real change. The director is seeking support from people who believe in freedom of speech.[20]
