"A' CERTIFIED. Raw. Ruthless. Real #KDTheDevil 1 DAY TO GO. - KVN Productions"

Chennai, April 29

The Central Board of Film Certification has now cleared director Prem's upcoming action spectacle 'KD: The Devil', featuring Kannada star Dhruva Sarja in the lead, for release with an 'A' certificate.

Confirming the development, KVN Productions, the production house producing the film, on its X timeline on Wednesday said, "'A' CERTIFIED. Raw. Ruthless. Real #KDTheDevil 1 DAY TO GO."

It may be recalled that the makers of the film had recently expressed regret for uncertified content getting inadvertently included in the film's trailer.

Taking to its social media timelines, KVN Productions had explained the faux pas, saying, "The trailer of KD: The Devil recently released on YouTube inadvertently included certain uncertified content during certification process."

The popular production house, which is also the firm that is producing actor Vijay's last film Jana Nayagan, went on to add, "We have therefore taken down the trailer and will be uploading a revised version shortly, in compliance with the certification guidelines."

Expressing regret for the lapse, the production house said, "We sincerely regret this oversight and remain fully committed to adhering to all certification norms."

For the unaware, 'KD: The Devil' is mounted on a grand scale and has already generated significant buzz across the country. The film stars Action Prince Dhruva Sarja in the titular role and features a stellar ensemble cast including Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Reeshma Nanaiah, and Nora Fatehi.

Interestingly, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt plays a pivotal role in this film, which has been long-awaited.

Cinematography for the film is by William David while art direction is by Mohan B Kere and editing by Sanketh Achar.

Produced by Venkat K Narayana under the banner of KVN Productions, the film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated pan-India releases of the year. KD: The Devil is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on April 30, 2026, promising audiences a larger-than-life cinematic experience.

'Raw. Ruthless. Real' – that tagline itself gives me chills. But honestly, why did they put uncertified content in the trailer? That's a basic mistake for a big production house like KVN. Hope they've learned their lesson.

Can't wait to see Shilpa Shetty and Nora Fatehi share screen space! That's going to be a visual treat. But I just wish they'd release it in more languages – pan-India films need proper dubbing, not like those half-baked ones we've seen before.

One day to go and they're still fixing the trailer? Kya baat hai! Either they're super confident or just messy. Anyway, I'll watch it opening day – Dhruva Sarja's action sequences are always top-notch. Just hope the story matches the hype.

I'm a bit skeptical about all these 'pan-India' films lately – many are just style over substance. But the cast is solid: Ramesh Aravind, V. Ravichandran, and Sanjay Dutt? That's some serious talent. Let's see if it delivers.

The 'A' certificate is actually a good sign for an action movie – means they didn't water down the violence. But I hope the story isn't just about mindless killing. Movies like KGF and Vikram showed how to balance action with emotion. Hope KD learns from that.
