In what can be called as a good news for erotica lovers, the Indian censor board has lifted the 10-month long ban on “modifying” films with A certification that allows filmmakers to cut the objectionable content for TV screening.
Apparently, the censor board lifted the ban after numerous requests from the TV broadcasters and the film industry. “We have asked producers who have films with ‘A’ certificate to make cuts (to the film) voluntarily,” said Pahlaj Nihalani, chairperson of CBFC.
Recently, a C&AG audit had objected to the re-certification of over 172 from A to U/A. Since then, the modification of objectionable scenes has been banned by the CBFC.
Each year, cable & satellite (C&S) rights form a major chunk of revenues for film producers with nearly 12% overall industry’s revenues, which can average up to 400-500 million rupees, according to a FICCI-KPMG report.
