Oru Bharatha Sarkar Ulpannam- Censor board instructs removal of a word from the Gouri G Kishan-starrer’s title

The makers of the upcoming Malayalam social drama Oru Bharatha Sarkar Ulpannam have been instructed to rename the movie, which is an unexpected turn of events. They have been asked to alter the title by removing the word ‘Bharatha’ by the censor board. They have not given an explanation for the word change, though.

Speaking to OTTplay, director T V Renjith stated that the film was given a clean certificate by the board after the preview, but they were asked to immediately take down the trailer from YouTube and make this adjustment. "We do not have enough time to challenge this decision because we want to release the film in theatres on March 8. Consequently, we have made the decision to adhere to their instructions," he stated.
