Filmmaker Vetri Maaran, known for some of the notable films like Visaranai, Vada Chennai and Asuran, has approached the Madras High Court to challenge the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for denial of a censor certificate for his upcoming Tamil movie, Manushi, reported The Hindu. Starring Andrea Jeremiah, the film has been produced by Vetri Maaran under his banner, Grassroot Film Company, and directed by Gopi Nainar.

The film is about a custodial interrogation of a woman, after being falsely suspected of terrorism. The trailer for the film was released last year in April.

The petition stated said CBFC, in September 2024, denied to issue a censor certificate for Manushi citing political reasons. It claimed that the content of the film showed the state in bad light and it had confused leftist communism with mainstream communism.

Apart from Andrea, Manushi also stars Nasser, Tamizh, Hakkim Shah, and Balaji Sakthivel. Music of the film has been composed by the legendary Ilaiyaraaja.
