While there is an alleged tussle between director Karthik Subbaraj and the producer Kathiresan regarding the violent content in the film, Jigarthanda` has been censored today. The film`s lead actor Siddharth has tweeted that the film has been censored and only the producer has to decide about the release.

A few moments earlier, the Udhayam NH` actor had said “Just heard that we'll have a release date locked for Jigarthanda by this weekend. @karthiksubbaraj &
I are waiting just like all of you:)”

The issue regarding the release is that the film is high in violent content and the censors would not give a clean U` certificate for the film. The producer wanted a U` certificate to avoid problems while selling the Satellite rights of the film. However the director did not budge for the producer`s insistence to cut short the violent sequences to afford a clean chit.

It is to be noted that Jigarthanda` the second film of Karthik Subbaraj after the super hit horror flick Pizza` is a gangster film based in Madurai and its suburbs.
