The controversial Tamil film Renigunta which was to release as per schedule this Friday (Nov 27) has been refused a censor certificate by the Regional Censor Board in Chennai for “showing violent and gruesome scenes enacted by children in graphic detail.”

The film as per sources in the industry has now been referred to the Revising Committee in Mumbai. The subject of Renigunta is highly controversial as it shows children turning into contract killers.

The film directed by Panneerselvam and produced by Mahendra Kumar Jain has newcomers like Johnny, Sanusha, Nishanth and Sandeep.
