Mehta asks film industry to come together on censorship

September 14, 2016 12:00 am | Updated November 01, 2016 06:20 pm IST - Mumbai:

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has often been at loggerheads with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the director has appealed to the film fraternity to come together against censorship.

The Aligarh helmer said people in the industry should stand for each other and not fight only for their own films. “We fight censorship only when it affects our own film. After that fight and a lot of rhetoric, nothing changes. Same rules, same board,” Mehta tweeted. He called for the need for certification instead of censorship. — PTI
