Prakash Jha reacts to Censor issues on Jai Gangaajal

Bolywood filmmakers and the Censor board have been at logger heads since a long time now. The makers have faced cuts in their upcoming films, which have in turn irked them. ‘Angry Indian Goddess’ and ‘Spectre’ cuts were heavily criticised by the film fraternity and now we have erstwhile filmkaer Prakash Jha’s upcoming venture Jai Gangaajal on the hitlist of the CBFC.

Prakash Jha’s forthcoming film ‘Jai Gangaajal’ has now gotten stuck with CBFC for the usage of ‘Saala’ word, whereas Saala Khadoos film has been allowede to retain the same by the board. reacting to the criticism Prakash Jha known for his bluntness said, “They wanted me to reduce an action scene by 50 per cent; I’m okay with that, but not okay with the language being diluted. I’m going to the Tribunal hoping they will see things in the right context. Else, I’ll move court. One mindset has created all this absurdity.”

He tweeted,

‘How many beeps can you have in a film?’ – #JaiGangaajai https://t.co/qj1ku8f2l8
