Heraldo de Madrid - Itlu Arjuna receives U/A certificate ahead of theatrical release

The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared director Mahesh Uppala’s Telugu romantic entertainer Itlu Arjuna for release with a U/A certificate. The film, starring Anish and Anaswara Rajan, is scheduled to open in cinemas worldwide on November 13. Production company What Next Entertainments announced the certification on social media. The release had previously been planned for October 30 but was postponed. Telugu actor Nagarjuna is presenting the project, which is produced by director Venky Kudumula under the What Next Entertainments banner.

The trailer introduces Arjun, played by Anish, as a speech-impaired man who is also an accomplished thief. When a robbery takes place, police identify him as a principal suspect and begin searching for him. Arjun is in love with his friend Keerthy, played by Anaswara Rajan. Keerthy is portrayed as a disciplined student who trusts Arjun and believes him to be a good person, despite the police investigation and his concealed criminal activity.

A criminal gang is also searching for a pen drive linked to Rs 1,000 crore. The group pursues Arjun and Keerthy while police conduct a separate search for the couple, placing the romantic storyline within a crime-and-action plot. Itlu Arjuna marks Anish’s debut as a leading actor and Mahesh Uppala’s first film as a director. Anaswara Rajan plays the female lead, while the production combines romance, comedy, crime and action elements.

The technical crew includes composer S Thaman and cinematographer Raja Mahadev. Ram Kumar A served as production designer, Koti K handled editing and Dilip Subbarayan choreographed the action sequences. The U/A classification permits younger viewers to attend with parental guidance. Certification removes a key release requirement and confirms that the postponed film can proceed with its revised November 13 theatrical date.
