Anurag Kashyap to move courts for every film CBFC rejects

Anurag Kashyap

A filmmaker’s biggest problem can be the Central Board of Film Certification, who, in a time where films are telling more heartfelt stories, are trying to prevent these stories actually being told. One director who will do all that he can in order to get his films released is Anurag Kashyap, who has stated he will move courts to get approved.

CBFC chairman Pahlaj Nihalani is the one to take on the decision, where he had put many films on hold before letting them release due to explicit scenes. Mid-Day reports Kashyap expressing, “If anything is remotely associated with me, Pahlajji opens his pitara and brings out the special love he has for me. He can say whatever he wants. We know we will always have to move court for our films.”

“It’s (censorship) a topic that I would rather not talk about, because it’s pointless; it’s like banging your head against a wall. For every film, we will have to move court. So, the process of getting our films cleared will take around six to eight months,” he added.

Looks like Kashyap won’t take “no” for an answer. Here’s hoping his idea of moving courts works.
