‘Mukkabaaz’ gets U/A certificate, Anurag Kashyap thanks CBFC

Remember ‘Udta Punjab’? The 2016 film was grounded by CBFC and the then chief Pahlaj Nihalani for the silliest (arguably so) reasons. Producer Anurag Kashayp fought an uphill battle and managed to release the film.

This time around, however, Kashyap’s encounter with the board was a pleasant one as his upcoming directorial ‘Mukkabaaz’ was cleared with a U/A certificate. (Also Read: Aww! Anurag Kashyap proves he is the perfect daddy with this cute video)

“I was asked by the board, my intention to make this film and I spoke freely and fearlessly and was accorded the respect of a filmmaker by CBFC. Last time that happened was GOW #Mukkabaaz,” he wrote, while thanking chief Prasoon Joshi and I&B Minister Smriti Irani for allowing him to speak fearlessly.
