Sanjay Gupta, a renowned filmmaker, has made a shocking claim about the popularity of the Hollywood horror film Obsession in India. Despite being rated A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Gupta claims that underage kids are sneaking into theatres to watch the film.
Gupta made this revelation on X (formerly Twitter), where he shared his experience of watching a recent Malayalam release while his son watched Obsession in the next screen. He stated that the theatre was packed with kids, most of whom were underage.
The film, Obsession, has been making waves in the horror genre, and its A rating has been a topic of discussion on the internet. The film's runtime is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes, with anti-tobacco and anti-liquor disclaimers factored in. The CBFC had made several cuts and modifications to the film, including the reduction of 24 seconds of 'extreme violence' and the complete removal of 14 seconds of 'graphic sexual activity', leading to 38 seconds of removed key footage.
