Staff correspondent, September 9, 2015, NewsCrunch
A Kannada film "141", which deals with cross-border lesbian love, is set for release on September 11. Dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions would follow a week later.
The film director Bhavaji told India Today that the movie was ready in 2013 but struggled to get clearance from the censor board due to its theme.
After the Regional Censor Board refused to clear the movie saying it was against the Indian culture, Bhavaji had to approach a revising committee to secure the clearance.
He is unhappy that 141 was given an A certificate even though it is completely free of any explicit content.
The fist-time director has roped in Tanya (Russian), Kavya and Farooq Khan in lead roles.
141, which was shot secretly at locations around Karnataka, now reportedly faces threats from fringe groups.
