CBFCchiefPrasoonJoshi is aghast at members of the Special Panel invited to view Sanjay Leela Bhansali s Padmavati now retitled to Padmavat , who are now expressing displeasure over the films certification. SaysPrasoon, The role of Special Panel was only advisory in nature. Lets be clear that role of the special panel was to give advice and add perspective to theCBFCsregular panel for which the CBFC is appreciative and thankful. However theCBFCchief is not agreeable to members of the Special Panel claiming ownership over the certification of Padmavati.SaysPrasoon, The final decision stays with theCBFCCommittee. The special panel were aware of this as well. In the decision of CBFC, some parts of the advice do find reflection but as iterated the final decision for certification is with theCBFCcommittee Prasoonstands by the CBFCs decision on Padmavati.TheCBFC has taken a pragmatic and balanced view. Unnecessary controversy should not be made out of it.
