Censor Board incorporates anti drinking warning in films

24 Oct 2014

While the team of Ugly has been fighting a legal battle for months over the anti smoking warning, now Censor Board has added yet another rule adding to the woes of the makers. CBFC has now apparently decided to feature an anti-drinking warning in the film.

However, this move has left many filmmakers miffed. On one hand some filmmakers claim it to be 'disturbing' and accused the Censor Board of immature behavior. In fact, from what we hear, the said warning will also be featured in Happy New Year. This decision is said to be taken by Rahul Vaidya, the Regional Officer who is currently heading the team of censor board after CEO Rakesh Kumar was dismissed on alleged corruption charges.

Moreover, it is also being said that it is not an arbitrary decision but it has always been a part of the guidelines and hence every film is obliged to follow it.
