Director Raju Murugan’s political
satire film, Joker, featuring Guru Somasundaram in the lead role, is all
set to release on 12th of August.
Talking
about the movie, Raju Murugan said “Time has changed and people have
started to discuss politics in social media. But, it isn’t the same case
in cinema. Why is politics not being talked about in cinema?, I would
think and Joker answers that question.
Artists shouldn’t be approached politically. Artists are artists, and
see them in that way. We thought, we wouldn’t get the censor
certificate, but fortunately, the film was given a ‘U’ certificate. No
political parties have threatened us so far. The censor board gave cuts
for few cuss words and violent scenes here and there, but they have
accepted the fact that everyone should talk and discuss about politics.
It is a good thing, that the film is releasing ahead of Independence
day.”
Joker is produced by S.R.Prabhu of Dream Warrior Pictures, and the music is composed by Sean Roldan.
