Justice N. Anand Venkatesh of the Madras High Court, on Tuesday (August 19, 2025), decided to watch the Andrea Jeremiah-starrer Tamil movie ‘Manushi’ during a private screening in Chennai on Sunday (August 24) to ascertain if the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is justified in suggesting as many as 37 cuts.
The judge took the decision pursuant to a writ petition filed by the film’s producer C. Vetri Maaran, also an acclaimed director, questioning the 37 cuts made mandatory before the CBFC could certify the movie to be fit enough for public screening in cinema theatres.
