“Phule” is a biographical film directed by Mahadevan, focusing on the lives of Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule. The film aims to showcase the couple’s contributions to social reform and education in India.
The release of the film faced delays after objections were raised by a segment of the Brahmin community in Maharashtra concerning its portrayal of their community.
Prior to the film's release, Mahadevan urged the Brahmin community to view the film before forming judgments.
Commenting on the modifications suggested by the censor board, Mahadevan told IANS, “They were probably overly cautious, and they had certain recommendations, some tweaks they wanted us to make—it wasn’t really cuts per se.”
“We complied with that since we want to abide by the law, but the only issue is that we have become a bit over-sensitive. Even if those words or points were retained, I don’t believe there would have been any objections. Somewhere along the line, we had to tone it down, but let me assure you this will not lessen the film’s impact.”
