New Delhi, Jan. 25 (TNS): Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s the most controversial film Padmaavat, which created chaos in India, was cleared for release in Pakistan, Indian media reported on Thursday.
According to IANS, “Padmaavat” has been declared fit for public exhibition in the cinema houses without any excision by Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC). The movie has been given ‘U’ certification.
According to some distributors in Pakistan, there were apprehensions over the movie given the negative portrayal of Alauddin Khilji. When asked about it, Hasan said, “CBFC isn’t biased in arts, creativity and healthy entertainment.”
He also added that for the film’s certification, the CBFC co-opted Professor Waqar Ali Shah, chairman of Department of History, Quaid-e-Azam University as per rules. However, Hasan explained, “A co-opted member has no voting rights. They are for expert opinion.”
