Deewana is the latest Telugu film that stars Harshith Reddy and Smeha Meghamalai in the lead roles. The movie directed by Sreekanth Sangishetty received mostly positive reviews from critics, but some people wondered why it was awarded an A certificate.
During the success meet held today, the entire cast and crew expressed their disappointment over the censor board for giving the movie an A certificate. The team made a surprise revelation by stating that they also are not in a position to understand why the CBFC awarded Deewana an Adult certification (18+). They opined that the A certificate is stopping many from going to the theatres, thinking that the movie may contain adult content.
Producer Sridevi said, “After the premiere show, many came to us and appreciated us. But we are not completely happy. Friends and the general audience who are ready to watch Deewana are stopping at the last minute when BookMyShow showed them an A rating for the movie while booking the tickets. We made a clean film. I’m telling this as a woman. I made a film that I can watch comfortably with my kids and family. I am proud of what I made.”
