Kattalan director on avoiding violence in Antony Varghese-starrer  

Marco producer Shareef Muhammed had told the media that he has sought violence to be toned down in his upcoming movies. Reacting to this, Kattalan director Paul George has shed more light on how the makers plan to portray violence in the film. 

Saying that Shareef Muhammed did not ask them to entirely avoid violence, debutant Paul George said, "It is not possible to completely avoid violence and make this film."  

Explaining why, Paul said that the film is set in an area which is near the forest. "The characters are also a bit eccentric and have a shade of violence. But our film will not have over brutality or such. The extent of violence that stays within the ambit of Censor Board guidelines will certainly be there,” he explained.
