Mumbai: Vishal Bhardwaj, the filmmaker of Haider, Maqbool and Rangoon has tweeted against the proposal that empowers the government to re-examine films certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
“What a strange proposition to amend the law on film certification. What is the meaning of a censor certificate if the film can be reexamined on anybody’s complaint? The ministry has asked the public for its opinion,” he tweeted.
He went on to say that the film fraternity and lovers of cinema need to oppose the move. “I urge the Indian film fraternity and film lovers to oppose this unfair and unreasonable provision by writing an email to dhanpreet.kaur@ips.gov.in and sharing their opinion before the deadline of 2 July,” tweeted Bhardwaj.
