Mumbai:
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray's 'warning' to Sharmila Tagore, that as president of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), she will held be responsible if any movie refers to the city as Bombay, seems to have worked. Tagore has asked the board members to take appropriate action against the guilty parties.
"We have been informed that the CBFC has decided to review those films against which we had raised objections. Two to three films had used the word 'Bombay' instead of Mumbai," Ameya Khopkar, president Maharashtra Navnirman Cine Workers' Association, told DNA. The party delegation visited the CBFC office on Tuesday.
"The board issued this order immediately after receiving the letter. It assured us it won't happen in future," said Shalini Thackeray, general secretary of the association.
MNS chief wrote to Tagore on November 23 that many films continue to call the city 'Bombay'. "No comments on the MNS issue," said CBFC CEO Pankaja Thakur.
