Vishal Bhardwaj
Vishal Bhardwaj on Saturday said that the censor board gives a "deaf" ear to the concerns of the filmmakers. The writer-director, who has faced troubles with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in the past, said films are a "soft target" for anything and everything that goes wrong with the society.
When asked for his reaction on the possibility of censorship creeping into the digital medium, Bhardwaj said, "Did they listen to us when the put the 'no smoking' ticker on a running visual? Do they hear us even now? They (censor board) are deaf. They do whatever they want to do. We are the only nation in this world that has 'no smoking' on a running visual. How more ridiculous can it be?"
