CBFC restricts filmmakers from putting uncertified film videos on social media
 

Recently, the CBFC has been levying restrictions on filmmakers that they should not promote any scenes, promos or songs from their films without the certification from them. Following this, Kannada film producers have been fighting against this act, and they have requested the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) to intervene this.


The filmmakers have apparently termed this move as 'illegal.' It was reportedly argued that the CBFC should have let the film fraternity know about such a restriction through notifications. It was said that a few promotional videos were removed from Youtube as the content was not certified. Recently, a controversial scene from the film Dandupalya 2 was removed by the CBFC, but they faced criticism for the scene going viral on social media. 


Most of the producers have ostensibly gone against this restriction and are hoping to be freed from this soon as they feel that online promotion is a cost-effective method.

Prasoon Joshi reportedly changes the film viewing protocol at CBFC

We had reported earlier that Prasoon Joshi has taken over as the head of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Reports suggest that the latest rule has changed the communication channel between the producer and the CBFC technicians has come in.


According to this rule and as in reports, producers will no longer be told the decision of the censor board official immediately after the viewing of the film. So far, it was such that, producers were informally informed the certification but henceforth, the decision will be disclosed much later.


This new censor policy seems to pose some concern regarding practical problems to producers. A notable producer has told Bollywood media, “Earlier we were at least told of the problematic scenes, if any, so we could take care of them. Now we hear that we won’t be told anything after the censor board views a film. We will be in the dark till the certificate is actually issued. In this way, precious time will be lost. Sometimes we have just 2-3 days between censor viewing of a film and release of a film. This new oath of silence will create new delays for us”. How this policy is going to be received by producers is something we will have to wait to find out.
