CBFC passes 'Julie 2' without any cuts & 'A' certification

13th September 2017

The former CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani who is now in a new role of upcoming movie Julie 2's distributor and presenter of the film is finally happy after the chairman's exit from the Censorship committee a few days ago.

However, Julie 2's filmmakers are absolutely delighted with a sign of relief as the film has officially passed from the censor board without any cuts and an ''A'' certification. Expressing his tremendous joy with the Media Pahlaj said, "I am a man of no stress. Now I don't give stress either as people would say when I was the CBFC chairman." Well, it seems Nihalani is a rather cheerful man after getting relieved of his Censor Board responsibilities.

He added, "I knew we would get an 'A' certificate, and the CBFC has followed the guidelines thoroughly. Every producer should know what the guidelines are. None of the scenes or dialogues has been cut from the film. As I said before, and I maintain Julie 2 is a clean family adult film, where we haven’t used any bad language either."

On asking a sensitive question that would he have passed the film if he was still the CBFC chairman? he replied, "Of course, I would. The film was properly made for an 'A' certificate. The film was never submitted for 'UA' certificate either. So, I would also clear it without any cuts."

Currently, CBFC is being headed by lyricist Prasoon Joshi. Gautami Tadimalla, Jeevitha Rajashekar, Mihir Bhuta, Naresh Chandra Lal, Neil Scott Nongkynrih, Ramesh Patnage, TS Nagabharna, Vani Tripathi Tikoo, Vidya Balan, Vivek Agnihotri and Waman Kendre are among the other names who have joined the new Censor Board.
