Farhan Akhtar lashes out at CBFC for blurring alcohol glasses in ‘Ford v Ferrari’

Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar never minces his words when he sees or finds something wrong. More often he is seen voicing his opinions on social media on various topics. Now, he is upset with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) as the board has asked the makers of Christian Bale and Matt Damon’s ‘Ford v Ferrari’ to blur alcohol glasses and bottles in a few scenes.

Farhan took to his Twitter handle to express his opinion. He tweeted, “The day is not far when they’ll just have the script read out in theatres. Why the Indian adult is treated like a delinquent who can’t think for him/herself or tell right from wrong is beyond me!!”

Huffington Post’s report quoted an unnamed studio official saying, “We know we’ve to blur out the bottles because they carry brand name and CBFC guidelines do not allow that. But a mere glass being blurred out is something I’m hearing for the first time. You know the committee is going to send the print back with such cuts. Can’t do much about it. It’s frustrating.”

Directed by James Mangold, ‘Ford v Ferrari’ released on November 15 in India.
