CBFC Asks For Cuts In Anurag Kashyap’s BOMBAY VELVET
| |||
Monday, 4th May 2015, 5:08 PM IST There has never been everything good between Anurag Kashyap and Central Board of Film Certification. The director wants a ‘U/A’ certificate for the film ‘Bombay Velvet’, however CBFC has turned down the filmmaker's request as they feel it is good for adult viewing. A source said, "The Board asked for several cuts, including the deletion of certain cuss words like `son of a bitch'. They also wanted some violent sequences toned down. And many members of the Examining Committee (EC) agreed that given its theme, the crime saga is more suited for adult viewing." Around 100 cr is riding on the film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, and ‘A’ certificate can limit its reach. The makers have decided to go to the Revising Committee. Anurag said, "There is absolutely nothing in the film that warrants an `A' certificate. We are going to Revising Committee." When he was asked about any spat with CBFC, he said, "No hungama happened, we just didn't agree with the cuts the Board asked for. I have more faith in the CBFC's Revising Committee. Let's see how it goes."
