Bollywood producer Mukesh Bhatt says it is a shame on the country if a film like "The Jungle Book" is given a 'U/A' certificate. Bhatt also suggested that some serious thinking is needed about the censor board.
"If you ask me, CBFC should be put in a garbage can, that is the right place for the CBFC," he adds. The Central Board of Film Certification has given the "Jungle Book" a U/A certificate for being "too scary. The film getting a U/A certificate shows how crazy this country has become. We have lost the marbles, sorry to say that. If 'Jungle Book' is getting U/A certificate, then the government should do some serious thinking about CBFC," Bhatt said.
When asked about CBFC chief, Pahlaj Nihalani's reasoning behind the U/A certification, Mukesh said, "I am not talking about Nihalani. He is just a stooge of the people who have put him there. There has to be some radical thinking. If a 'Jungle Book' can get a U/A, shame on India."
