Pronouncing a verdict in a Censor certificate related case, a Court directed Mahesh Babu’s brother Ramesh Babu to pay a fine of Rs 25,000. Additional judge of 9th Metropolitan magistrate court pronounced the judgement.
Earlier, Mahesh Babu’s brother Ramesh who happens to be the producer of disastrous flick ‘Athidi’ featuring the younger brother as hero has released the movie without adding Censor Certificate to the final print. According to rules, no film should be released without adding a Censor certificate issued by the Censor board to it. With Ramesh Babu accepting his fault that he failed to check before release whether Censor certificate is attached or not, Court asked him to pay fine.
Ramesh Babu produced ‘Athidi’ on Krishna Productions banner, while UTV Motion Pictures co-produced and distributed the flick.
