Mammootty Kampany announced on Wednesday that Kalamkaval, featuring Mammootty and Vinayakan, has completed censor formalities and received a U/A 16+ certificate. The update was shared via the production house’s social media handles along with a new poster, and the caption read, "Truth bleeds. Silence breaks 🔥 #Kalamkaval Censored with U/A 16+ Certificate !!
