Plea to quash Amaran's censor certificate filed by student in Madras High Court

V V Vaageesan, an engineering student from Chennai had earlier sought compensation worth Rs 1.1 crores from Raajkamal Films International for displaying his phone number in the film. The student has now filed a writ petition in the Madras High Court seeking to quash the Censor Board certificate. 

In a scene in Amaran, the film's female lead, Sai Pallavi, shares a 10-digit phone number with Sivakarthikeyan's Mukund Varadharajan, which happened to match with Vaageesan's mobile number. The petitioner has reportedly received a barrage of phone calls on his personal number after the Rajkumar Periasamy directorial hit theatres on October 31.
