Vishal revealed on September 28 that the CBFC official in Mumbai demanded a fee of Rs 6.5 lakhs to release his film ‘Mark Antony‘ in Hindi. The actor’s allegations against the CBFC over corruption have attracted the nation’s interest in the corruption happening in the film industry. Following the actor’s complaint, the I&B ministry has agreed to take the necessary action.
The new update is that CBFC chief Prasoon Joshihas called for an emergency meeting on Tuesday, October 3.The meeting will be attended by all the regional officers, and it is said that the discussion will take place to resolve the issue that was mentioned by Vishal. Apart from theMinistry of Information and Broadcast, even the film production association has asked for a CBI inquiry against the involved officers. Vishal’s allegations were not baseless, and the actor even shared the transaction details of the bill of Rs 6.5 lakh paid as a bribe to the Mumbai CBFC.
According to our sources, because of the prevailing corruption allegations, other Hindi and regional films are also yet to clear censorship, and it is stated that a few moviemakers are contemplating pushing the release of the film later as the censor board has reduced the speed of work in certifying the films.
