KOCHI: The regional office of the Censor Board of Film Certification recently denied certificate of clearance to Parvathy Thiruvoth-starrrer Varthamanam. Written and produced by Congress leader Aryadan Shoukath and helmed by actor-director Sidhartha Siva, the film is set in the backdrop of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
In a tweet, Advocate V Sandeep Kumar, a CBFC member and a BJP SC Morcha state vice-president, said that the film glorifies anti-national elements. “The film talks about how Dalits and Muslims were tortured during the protests in JNU. I was against it. The reason? The film’s writer-producer Aryadan Shoukath,” according to the tweet, which was deleted later.
