The most anticipated movie of the year Masterpiece gets a clearance from the censor with a U/A. The film starring Yash is Manju Mandavya directorial debut, who is happy with the censor result. He said, "They have asked to do simple cuts and a couple of blurs. I am glad to know they have not cut any dialogues and members who watched the movie gave us a positive review."
The Manju Mandya and Yash combination has been creating a hype since the time it has been in the making. According to the director, Masterpiece has created so much buzz that distributors were ready to buy the movie at a high price. "Various distributors are vying to buy the film for different areas of Karnataka, which is almost reaching up to `34 crore, but the producer is yet to decide. A private channel has come forward to buy the satellite rights for a whopping `6 crore, which is yet to be finalised and the audio rights have been sold for `75 lakh, he says. The film has generated interest because Yash for the first time plays a negative shade. His various looks as Bhagat Singh and in a colourful avatar has only built more curiosity among his fans.
It is produced under Hombale films, who have decided to release on December 24 as they felt the yearend is lucky for Yash because his last film Mr and Mrs Ramachari released around the same time and it was a block buster. Jayanna who has taken the distribution rights along with the
producer has planned to release in 225 theatres across Karnataka and in other few states. They will follow it up with world wide release by January end. The film has Shanvi Srivastav in the female lead with Suhasini, Achyuth Kumar among others in the star cast.
