Mirzapur: Director Gurmeet Singh reveals the filmmaker is aiming for an ‘A’ certificate
Speaking about the certification process, Singh said that the team has tried to maintain the essence of Mirzapur Working within the guidelines of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
“We are directly targeting adults-only certification. Then, of course, the CBFC has its own guidelines with regard to language, what we can and cannot say. We have tried to manage that and strike the right balance.”
The director believes audiences are open to mature storytelling
Singh also said that he believes audiences have become more receptive to films made for mature audiences, giving filmmakers more creative freedom.
“I also think the audience has matured. If you look at the films Animal, stalwartand many other recent releases, you can see that adult storytelling is now finding a place in theaters. I think it set a precedent that allowed us to bring something like this Mirzapur: The Movie On the big screen without spoiling it.”
