CBFC Refutes Reports Of Thackeray Being Stalled

There were widespread  reports on Wednesday afternoon of  Thackeray  the  bio-pic of Balasaheb Thackeray  being censored hours before the trailer launch. As  per these  reports the Central Board Of Film Certification(CBFC) asked for changes in thedialogues at the last  minute thereby  inconveniencing  the  trailer launch .

However  Tushar  Karmarkar , RO  of the CBFC  in  Mumbai says the  changes were done without any dispute whatsoever.

Says  Karmarkar, “Some audio-modifications were suggested in Marathi trailer of film Thackeray.  These have been mutually agreed upon by the filmmaker and the CBFC.”

A  source  adds that the  film won’t face major hurdles  when  it comes up for censor certification.

“Balasaheb Thackeray was known to  speak his mind on public forums. All his controversial remarks are available in the public domain. So what is  the  need for the  CBFC to  tamper with or modify statements that are already public knowledge?” asks the  source close to the CBFC.
