Wednesday, 25th Feb 2015, 2:16 PM IST Few days ago, Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani had come up with a list of cuss words which will be banned in films. However, the list has been put on hold. The decision of keeping it on hold has been taken by the board members after a meeting. A source said, ''One of the board members told in the meeting that neither the board nor the chairperson had the right to take a unilateral decision. The board can only recommend a change in a guidelines and it is for the information and broadcasting ministry to take the decision. The chairperson’s role is to take the recommendation to the ministry.'' The board members stated that the decision of banning the cuss words was taken by Nihalani without the approval of the board members. “It was after which the board members and chief decided to put the ban on cuss words on hold till further notice,” added the source. Few movies which suffered the banning of cuss words are Nana Patekar’s ‘Ab Tak Chhappan 2’, Anushka Sharma's film ‘NH 10’ and Varun Dhawan's ‘Badlapur’. But, Anushka’s film is not yet censored. Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, who is also a board member tweeted, "As a Filmmaker & #CBFC board member do not endorse the list issued by the Chairperson On words not to be used in films.I ws nt consulted." The source said, “Producers should’ve moved the revising committee instead of taking the cuts in order to hurry their release. Besides submissions should also be much in advance for the filmmaker to right for his or her creative rights.''
