CBFC causes delay in Pahlaj Nihalani’s ‘Rangeela Raja’

Former Chairman of CBFC Pahlaj Nihalani is facing delays in his upcoming production ‘Rangeela Raja’ due to cuts required by the censor board.

The film, starring Govinda and newcomer Mishika Chourasia, was planning to release on 19th November. However, the undefined delay has caused a financial loss for Nihalani as well, since he will have to reinvest in the film’s marketing again. “It is not only a loss of time but also a loss of Rs 7 to 8 crore, which will have to be pumped in again once I decide on the date after the court gives its view on November 19. I will have to spend that kind of money because not only is the film a comeback for Govinda, but it also marks the debut of a brilliant newcomer Mishika Chourasia. She is a fearless actress and has given a fabulous performance in the film which the audience will love to watch along with Govinda’s double role,” Nihalani told Asian Age.

Govinda was last seen in ‘Fryday’ (2018), which released on 12th October.
