No More Word ‘Bombay’ In Movies?
| |||
Tuesday, 10th Feb 2015, 5:01 PM IST Central Board Of Film Certification recently decided to beep the word ‘Bombay’ in singer Mihir Joshi's new track, 'Sorry'. And now, apparently the CBFC has decided to cut off the word ‘Bombay’ from films titles, or usage in dialogues and lyrics. A source said, "Producer Ashok Kaul had submitted his film titled 'Bombay Central' for certification, but the Board asked him to change it to ‘Mumbai Central’. The certificate was issued to him only after he made the required change." According to the sources, CBFC is merely following guidelines set by the state government in its 1996 gazette notification to restore the original name of the city as Mumbai. Apparently, an advisory would be sent to the Film and Television Producers Guild, Indian Film and Television Producer Council, Western India Film Producers Association and Indian Motion Picture Producers Association.
