Vishal's 'Magudam' Cleared for August Release with U/A Certificate
A man named Vishal is an actor in India who makes movies.
He made a new action movie called 'Magudam,' and this is the first time he is directing a film.
Before a movie can be shown to people, a group called the CBFC checks it and gives it a certificate.
The CBFC gave 'Magudam' a U/A certificate, which means teens can watch it with their parents.
Vishal told everyone the news on a social media platform called X. The movie's trailer will come out on August 7, and the movie itself will open on August 14.
It was supposed to come out in July, but the makers moved the date to August.
The big ending action scene took 17 days to film and used 100 stuntmen and 800 crew members.
The first director left because he and Vishal disagreed, so Vishal decided to direct the movie himself.
The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared Vishal's action entertainer 'Magudam' with a 'U/A' certificate.
Vishal confirmed the news on X, with the trailer arriving on August 7 and the release on August 14.
'Magudam' marks Vishal's directorial debut; shooting wrapped in June and the release was postponed from July to August 14.
The massive climax sequence, shot over 17 days in November last year, involved 100 stuntmen and 800 crew members.
Director Ravi Arasu left the project midway due to a difference of opinion with Vishal, who then took over as director.
