Bajpayee Slams Censor Board Over 'Gajab Raat' Title
12 Nov
Summary
- Actor criticizes censor board for temporary decisions based on public mood.
- Online outrage preceded any viewing of 'Gajab Raat,' Bajpayee notes.
- Film's success is a direct response to unfair criticism, actor states.
Manoj Bajpayee has voiced strong criticism regarding the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) advisory that title and release date approvals are now temporary. He believes the board capitulates to popular sentiment, making decisions that cater to a public easily offended by anything. This approach, he argues, allows the board an easy way out, even if it means sacrificing creative liberty.
Bajpayee also commented on the widespread online backlash his film 'Gajab Raat' faced before its release. He stated that people are now overly sensitive and quick to take offense. Despite the pre-release outrage and threats, the actor expressed satisfaction that the film's success serves as a powerful retort to its detractors.
