In times when the censor board willingly passes a song like DK Bose from Delhi Belly, but raises an objection to a live-in relationship Pyaar Ka Punchnama, filmmaker Prakash Jha may well be unsure of his days ahead when he takes his Aarakshan for a screen certificate. After all the film boasts of a theme as volatile as reservation and for someone who has had his fair share of encounters with the censor board, Jha can well be expected to be a little wary of the prospects of Aarakshan.
“The censor board had objections to certain scenes which were rumoured to be based on Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in Jha’s Raajneeti,” says an industry follower.
However, Jha claims that he isn’t exactly worried about this “This is a democratic country and everyone has the right to express their views. I will say what I wanted to through Aarakshan. If the censor board has any questions, they are welcome to put them forth. I would be happy to answer them all,” says Jha.
