‘Panni Kutty’ cleared for release with clean ‘U’ certificate

Director Anucharan’s much-awaited entertainer ‘Panni Kutty’, featuring comedians Yogi Babu and Karunakaran in the lead, has been cleared for release by the Censor Board of Film Certification with a clean ‘U’ certificate.

Lyca Productions, the firm producing the film, made the announcement on social media. On its Twitter timeline, the firm said, “‘Panni Kutty’ is censored with a clean ‘U’ and is ready to meet you all at the cinemas on July 8th.”

The film, whose title in English means ‘piglet’, has created interest for several reasons. The first among them is that director Anucharan Murugaiyan’s just released web series on Prime Video, ‘Suzhal -The Vortex’ has garnered a lot of praise.

Apart from the two comedians playing the lead, the film also has several other comedians in its cast, giving rise to the hope that it will be a laugh riot.

This apart, the film will mark the return of well-known Tamil orator and comedian Dindugal Leoni back to the big screen.

The theatrical rights of the comedy film for the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka have already been acquired by Dr. Prabhu Thilak’s 11:11 productions.

Shot by cinematographer Sathish Murugan, Panni Kutty has music by K and has been edited by director Anucharan himself.

SS Rajamouli launches trailer of Lavanya Tripathi-starrer ‘Happy Birthday’

‘RRR’ director S.S. Rajamouli on Wednesday launched the theatrical trailer of Lavanya Tripathi-starrer ‘Happy Birthday’.

“Ritesh Rana ‘s surreal comedy and @kaalabhairava7’s intoxicating music. A potent combination for a box office success. Ritesh is creating a niche for himself. Fantastic trailer. My best wishes to @Itslavanya and others. #HappyBirthday,” Rajamouli wrote on social media, as he shared the trailer of ‘Happy Birthday’.

The trailer shows a tavern where no one is allowed unless they carry a gun, introducing the viewers to the crazy world of weapons.

The main protagonists of the movie make an attempt to snatch a lighter with diamond accents. Well, aside from introducing the major characters, the trailer pretty much sums up the humor in the story.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ theatrical teaser teases the non-stop excitement that moviegoers can expect in the theatres. Even though the plot appears to lack any semblance of logic, it is obvious that Ritesh Rana’s frictional fragmentation is intended to amuse the viewer.

Written and directed by Ritesh Rana, and starring Lavanya Tripathi and Vennela Kishore in lead roles, ‘Happy Birthday’ is scheduled to premiere on July 8.
