Pakistan's Censor Board wants to cut scenes involving India's National Anthem and National Flag

Udta Punjab is battling the Censor Board's prescribed 89 cuts, led by co-producer Anurag Kashyap who is campaigning to have the film release in its current form

"If a film is certified 'adult' then you should be able to show pretty much everything because an adult can decide if he or she wants to watch the film. But as I understand it, it has been a little aggressive in its approach in last six to eight months, which is worrying," said Aamir Khan

The censor board in the country has become "a little aggressive" lately, said Bollywood actor Aamir Khan today, joining his co-actors and filmmakers in the debate on censorship.

Coming down heavily on the Censor Board, which recently stoked controversy by banning some objectionable words, actor Aamir Khan has said he is totally against banning any kind of material in media or films.

Stressing that liking or disliking a film is one's prerogative, Aamir said stopping somebody from releasing a film is not right

Several Bollywood personalities including Aamir Khan, Deepika Padukone and Mukesh Bhatt on Sunday expressed their strong reservation about the censor board's recent guidelines on 'cuss words' and raised the issue with Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting or (I and B) Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.

Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, went as far as to say that the CBFC might even be rechristened a 'ratings' board.

"I am in favour of the rating system. I think we should not try and pre-empt what the censor certification will be and how the members will react," said Aamir

"Our job is to certify. That we have done. We are not a censorship board. Political or ideological groups may advise their followers not to watch it," Leela Samson said

"Every film may hurt religious sentiments of somebody or the other. We can't remove scenes unnecessarily because there is something called creative endeavour where people present things in their own way," Leela Samson, Censor Board Chief said

India's all-powerful censor board is planning a lighter approach to Bollywood after decades chopping tens of thousands of film scenes, from onscreen kisses to violent endings.
