Jigarthanda, which was scheduled to release last Friday has been postponed yet again. The movie has been censored with a U/A certificate, and the movie’s producer Kathiresan is reportedly ready to allow 16 cuts to the movie to obtain a U certificate. A U certificate makes it easier for producers to obtain entertainment tax exemptions for movies.
