| |||
Wednesday, 25th Feb 2015, 5:43 PM IST Along with the cuss words, the Censor Board of Film Certification had also banned the use of the word ‘Bombay’ in films. But, it won’t create a problem for Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Bombay Velvet’ and the filmmaker can retain the word in the film’s title. This decision was taken in a meeting on Monday that if a film is based in the period when Mumbai was Bombay then, the word can be used. A source said, "Apart from cuss words and other issues, the controversy over usage of 'Bombay' in films and songs was discussed. A board member pointed out that a film should be allowed to use the colonial name if it is set in a period before the The Maharashtra Restoration of Name 'Mumbai' for 'Bombay Act, 1996, came into effect."
