Cast
Controversies
Certification issue
The CBFC demanded a 15 cuts from the film for religious and sensitivity reason. They wanted to remove the scenes including "beef biriyani", "Dhwaja Pranaman" (salutation to the flag) and a Rakhi scene. Even though the changes are made, the CBFC informed to the producer that film would get an A certification.
The filmmakers moved legally to Kerala High Court. The high court judge reviewed the film and ordered to remove some scenes "Dhwaja Pranama" from the film and to release the film. Initially the film received a UA16+ certification and was released on Christmas.
Catholic Petitions
The Catholic Congress filed a petition on High court against their film arguing that the film would hurt sentiments of Christian communities, because the film portrays a bishop of Thamarassery as a supporter of Love Jihad.
