TIL Desk Bollywood/ A Mewar royal has penned a letter to Prasoon Joshi, Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), slamming him for certifying Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversial film Padmavati without his consent.
Maharajkumar Vishvaraj Singh, son of Mahendra Singh Mewar – the 76th Maharana of the Mewar dynasty and a former Lok Sabha member – has written the letter. Vishvaraj Singh said he was invited by Joshi to be part of an examining committee meeting to assist the CBFC in the process of certification on December 28 to which he requested some clarifications.
The decision was taken in the meeting in the presence of Joshi. The special panel consisted of Arvind Singh from Udaipur, Dr. Chandramani Singh and Professor K.K. Singh of Jaipur University.
However, due to communication problems, Vishvaraj Singh was not able to attend the meeting and got to know on Saturday that CBFC has suggested to give a U/A certificate “along with some modifications” to Padmavati and has asked the makers to “likely” change the movie’s title to Padmavat.
