Khatharnak,
an
upcoming
movie
by
Malavalli
Saikrishna,
has
been
awarded
'A'
certificate
by
the
Central
Censor
Board
Committee.
It
is
said
that
the
makers
of
the
movie
are
unhappy
with
the
decision
of
the
members.
Sources
said
that
Censor
Board
has
asked
the
makers
to
cut
several
portions
of
the
film,
for
which
they
have
awarded
'A'
certificate.
But,
the
makers,
who
are
arguing
the
need
of
those
scenes,
have
moved
to
revising
committee,
with
a
hope
of
getting
cleared.
Khatharnak
is
based
on
the
real
life
story
of
psychopath
killer
and
rapist
Umesh
Reddy.
The
crew
had
named
the
movie
as
Umesh
Reddy
initially.
Later,
due
to
the
opposition
from
the
Umesh
Reddy's
family,
they
renamed
it
as
Khatharnak.
Actress

who
was
playing
girl
next
door
characters
in
Kannada
movies,
will
be
playing
the
role
of
the
victim
of
a
rape
victim
in
the
movie.
