Jeevitha Rajasekhar being chosen to be the member of the Central Board of Film Certification came as a big surprise to the Telugu Film Industry. It is really happy news for Tollywood that one woman director was chosen for CBFC and many of the new members belong to film industry this time.
After the resignation of former chief Ms.Leela Samson over the clearance of controversial film ‘Messenger Of God’, the remaining Censor Board members too followed suit and resigned expressing solidarity to Ms.Samson’s decision and supporting her allegations of ‘interference’ and ‘coersion’.
Interestingly all the Censor Board members who resigned were constituted by the previous government (by then ruling party Congress). Their resignation came as a boon to BJP led government to constitute the board with members of their choice. And Jeevitha Rajasekhar’s decision to join BJP seemed to have rewarded her well. Lucky indeed!
