in news ever since its inception. Pahlaj
Nihalani, the former chief of Central Board of
Film Certification (CBFC), said renowned
director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is "a sensible"
person who has always promoted Indian
culture in his films.
Talking to a leading agency, Pahlaj said,
"Bhansali is a sensible and best technician in
the industry. He knows that he is bringing
Indian culture in front of the world. He has
always promoted Indian culture and people
have liked it."
"There has been controversy in each of his
films. Controversy on his projects is created
by people. His movies have always done a
good business after people see there is
nothing wrong with it," he said.
"People of every state for which he makes a
film protest against it. People protested
against Bajirao Mastani in Maharashtra.
There were many court cases. I think how
he highlighted Maratha in that film was
commendable," added Joshi.
"Why did people not protest earlier when
movies were made on Padmavati? Were the
Rajputs not this concerned?" he asked,
adding, "These protests must stop".
"Till the time film is not censored, it is not
completed. I think they have not yet
submitted it for approval, the process which
takes at least 21 days. If the film gets censor
certificate, it must be right-minded," he said.
"Members of Censor board are capable and
educated. They know which film should be
passed and which should not. It is the
responsibility of the censor board nor the
govt or public should take it," Nihalani
stressed.
