Vidya Balan, Jeevitha and more in Newfound Censor!

The Censor Board of India has been remade with writer Prasoon Joshi as the new chairman. The CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) now consists of Gautami Tadimalla, Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, Jeevitha Rajasekhar and others who was chosen for the post.

The renowned actress who is happy to have this opportunity said that she “look[s] forward to this new and exciting phase where [Indian] cinema will be allowed to reflect the sensibilities, realities and the complexities of the society we are living in today.”

The sacking of previous chairman, Pahlaj Nihalani, brought back hopes of a more forward thinking entertainment world which allows more realistic and open-minded films to be showcased and we expect the new team to lead the Censor Board that way.
