Anarkali Of Aarah has not even been certified, so how can the cuts be leaked? Scoffs Censor Chief

8 Mar 2017

PahlajNihalani, the chairperson of theCBFC (Censor Board Of Film Certification), is livid at the the insinuation that censored scenes from a forthcoming film AnarkaliOfAarah ( AOA ) have been leaked online. SaysNihalaniangrily, The film has not been censored or certified as yet. We havent made any cuts in any film of this name. So, where is the question of censored scenes being leaked? The Censor Chief cautions filmmakers against using the CBFCs name unnecessarily. I call this cost-effective publicity. You make a small-budget film which needs to get noticed. You concoct censor problems for the film, where there is none. You get loads of media coverage as soon as you speak of your film being banned by the Censor Board. The CBFCnow intends to take serious note of films that claim censor hurdles where there are none. We are tired of our name being dragged down for publicity. You please make your film aboutAnarkalifromArrah,Chapra,RohtakorRaiBareilly. TheCBFChas no interest in playing the party-pooper. If a filmmaker wants to use the CBFCs name for publicity, he will have to substantiate his allegations. AisehiFacebookya Twitterpegaalidenanahinchalega.(just abusing on social networks wont do).
