Pahlaj Nihalani Sacked

Pahlaj Nihalani said, "Indu Sarkar was the main reason behind my removal as I didn't clear the film without cuts. I was targeted"

Vidya Balan was named a member of the CBFC while Pahlaj Nihalani was sacked as the organisation's chairman

The rightly lampooned Pahlaj Nihalani has been ousted from the Central Board of Film Certification, but how much difference can the removal of one man make?

"With good intent, I will try to make as much difference as I can. I think there is some sort of understanding that needs to be brought in," said Prasoon Joshi

Pahlaj Nihalani's post will be filled by adman-lyricist Prasoon Joshi but not before Mr Nihalani could damage the peaceful release of many films

Pahlaj Nihalani, who turned the censor board into a precinct of serial controversy, has been sacked as the organisation's chairman. His successor is famous lyricist-adman Prasoon Joshi, while actor Vidya Balan joins the board.
