Why Siva Manasula Shakthi got U/A certificate?


The film Siva Manasula Shakthi stars Jeeva in the lead role and is directed by Rajesh, the erstwhile assistant director to S.A. Chandrasekar. Siva Manasula Shakthi was recently sent to the Censor Board for certification and was awarded UA certificate. When the film’s director brought the issue to the Censor Board Officials’ notice it was explained that Siva
Manasula Shakthi had about four scenes in which the hero, Jeeva, was shown smoking.
With the Central Government banning smoking in public places, it has become mandatory to avoid such scenes in movies or to carry a sub title “Smoking is injurious to health” during those scenes. According to the Censor Board officials, all films that have smoking scenes with the sub title will be given “A” certificate henceforth.
