TIL Desk Bollywood/ Udta Punjab is yet another movie being “slaughtered” at the hands of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), says veteran danseuse Leela Samson. She had resigned from her post as censor board chief last year over government interference.
Breaking a vow of silence over matters of the CBFC, Samson on Wednesday took to her Facebook page to share her views on the raging row. The CBFC has suggested around 89 cuts for Udta Punjab, whichdelves into the drug menace plaguing Punjab.
In her opinion, matters of the film industry should be taken care of by “just the industry and what should be an empathetic CBFC board”. “There are three parties involved. That’s already one too many,” she added. Samson drew attention to how everything related to the CBFC operations boils down to a direct connection with the government.
