Initially requested by the Censor Board to remove some scenes for approval, it was not given authorisation because director Prasanna Vithange refused to comply with the Censor Board’s request. Recently, a newly appointed Censor Board cleared the film for public viewing under ‘More suitable for adults’ rating without any censorship.
