Vadivukkarasi's horror thriller 'Granny' censored with U/A certificate

Director Vijaya Kumaaran's horror thriller 'Granny', starring Vadivukkarasi, receives a U/A certificate. Vijay Sethupathi revealed the film's title and poster.

"Here is the first look poster of VijayaMary Universal Media Production No.1 Titled as #GRANNY. - Vijay Sethupathi"

Chennai, Jan 21

The Central Board of Film Certification has now cleared director Vijaya Kumaaran's eagerly awaited horror thriller 'Granny', featuring veteran actress Vadivukkarasi in the lead, for release with a clean U/A certificate.

On Wednesday, the makers of the film, Vijaya Mary Universal Media, released a poster that confirmed the development.

It may be recalled that actor Vijay Sethupathi had only recently released the film's title as 'Granny'. In fact, on January 8 this year, Vijay Sethupathi had taken to his X timeline to release the title of the film.

Releasing the title poster, Vijay Sethupathi had written,"Here is the first look poster of VijayaMary Universal Media Production No.1 Titled as #GRANNY. Directed #Vijayakumaaran #Vadivukkarasi @iamsingapuli @actordhileepan @vijaysonofgod #Vijayamary @kukarthik1 @Gv_Aparna01 #Actorgajaraja @AnanthNag24 @teamaimpr."

The title poster released by Vijay Sethupathi had Vadivukkarasi sporting an eerie look. Dressed as an old woman with flowing white hair, the actress appears to holdup a lantern in one hand while she is seen holding a staff in her other hand. Inside her, the silhouettes of two children are seen standing in a pathway that is surrounded by spirits. The title poster aroused the curiosity of onlookers, triggering interest in the film.

'Granny', apart from Vadivukkarasi, will also feature actor Dhileepan, the cousin of ace director A R Murugadoss, in a pivotal role. Actress G V Aparna too will be seen in an important role in the film which will also feature actor Singampuli.

On the technical front, the film will have cinematography by A Manikandan. It will have music by Chellaiah Pandian and editing by M S Gopi. Art direction for the film has been handled by PBK Mahendran. Make up in the film is by Suresh and Prashanth. Stunts in the horror thriller, which has been co-produced by T Saravanan, have been choreographed by Action Prakash.

Good to see a horror film getting cleared without unnecessary cuts. The poster description itself gives me chills. Hope the story is solid and not just jump scares. Our horror genre needs more strong content.

Vijay Sethupathi promoting it adds a lot of credibility. The team looks promising with Chellaiah Pandian's music. Hoping for a background score that haunts you like 'Pisaasu' or 'Maya'.

Interesting to see a veteran actress leading a horror film. In Hollywood, it's often younger actors. Refreshing change! The poster concept with children's silhouettes is very evocative.

With all due respect to the team, I hope the 'granny' horror trope is done well. Sometimes our films rely too much on makeup and loud sounds. Need a gripping story that plays on psychological fear, not just visuals.

Action Prakash doing stunts for a horror thriller? That's a unique combo! 😄 Hope it has some tense physical sequences and not just CGI ghosts. Release date please!
