Prashanth Neel’s upcoming horror film 418 has run into censor hurdles, putting its release plans on hold. The film was originally planned for release earlier, but the makers have not been able to complete the certification process. The latest reports suggest that the film has approached the Revising Committee after the Censor Board raised objections over the horror content. 418 is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and is presented by Prashanth Neel. The film is directed by Kirtan Nadagouda and is positioned as a horror film. The story and the details of the cast have been kept relatively under wraps, with the makers looking to build the film around its horror premise.
The censor issue has reportedly been related to the extent of horror shown in the film. Interestingly, 418 is designed as a horror movie, and the makers are said to have questioned the objections raised against the very nature of the film. With the certification process not moving as expected, the team has decided to approach the Revising Committee. The development comes at a time when several Telugu films have reportedly faced unexpected issues during certification. Allari Naresh’s Rambha Urvasi Menaka also faced objections over the costumes of its characters, while Korean Kanakaraju reportedly had to explain portions of its story to the authorities over concerns about its impact on India-Korea relations.
The censor process of 418 has therefore become another hurdle for Prashanth Neel’s film. The makers are expected to take a call on the release date only after the certification issue is resolved.
