After delays and painful suspense for fans, Rajinikanth’s Kabali is set for a July 22 release with a ‘U’ certificate. Producer Kalaipuli S Thanu informed that Kabali was cleared by the censor board on Monday, and is all set to entertain the fans across the world.

Kabali, based on a life of a don, will be released in three languages, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, in nearly 4,000 theaters. A two hours and 32 minutes long movie will also be dubbed in Malayalam. It will also release in Malaysia on July 29.

The producers were initially targeting a July 15 release, but the film didn’t get the slot immediately, as other Tamil movies, who had applied prior, were waiting in the line. According to reports, Rajinikanth asked the producers to follow the censor board’s schedule, without jumping the queue.

Getting a ‘U’ certificate from the censor board is a major boost for Kabali. Now the Rajinikanth-starrer is eligible for entertainment tax exemption in Tamil Nadu. Because of Rajinikanth’s massive fan base, Tamil Nadu is supposedly the core box office constituency for the movie.

Kabali is likely to do a 200 crore pre-release business from theatrical distribution, digital sales and other rights. The hype around the movie is such that recently Air Asia imprinted a larger-than-life Rajinikanth’s poster on its aircraft.

It looks like the Censor Board problem has been following Anurag Kashyap. The producer/director is in an exhaustive promotion spree and films getting stuck at the CBFC is taking a toll on him. After Udta Punjab, Raman Raghav 2.0 had also faced the ire of the censor board but the movie based on a serial killer is now ready for release. But his next production, Haramkhor is waiting for a go ahead as Pahlaj Nihalani thinks that a topic of teacher, student relationship is not acceptable.

Quantico star Priyanka Chopra has lent her support to Kashyap, saying that the censor board cannot dictate terms. She added that the board has no right of tempering with the creativity and title of the movie.

“Our forefathers achieved freedom of speech and expression for us after a long struggle… Creativity should not be stopped in democracy,” Priyanka Chopra said. “In democracy you cannot dictate what one should eat or watch a movie on a social issue.”

This is probably the first time the whole Bollywood family has come out openly, supporting each other. The controversy on Anurag Kashyap’s Udta Punjab has brought the industry together.

Akshay, who generally avoid giving his opinion, like it was seen in of the episodes of ‘Koffee with Karan’ said that even commercial films face the brunt of censor board’s dictating attitude.

“I made a film which was very entertaining, Desi Boyz, it got an adult certificate,” Akshay recalled. “Eros International (producer) knows about it. So there’s nothing like that. If it gets stuck, it gets stuck.”

Kangana Ranaut, a three-time National Awards winner, said that movies should be given creative freedom, and such incidents shouldn’t happen in future.

“Cinema is all about detailing,” Kangana said. “We need our own creative freedom and we are definitely sort of pressed against the wall and there is so much outrage. I hope it will be addressed and hope there won’t be such incidents in future.”
