Akshay Kumar on censor board issues

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar feels not only the films with the realistic setting but hardcore commercial movies can also get “stuck” with the Censor Board.

The 48-year-old ‘Airlift’ actor said a film gets “stuck” with the Censor Board irrespective of its genre, and cited and example of his movie ‘Desi Boyz’, which was given an ‘A’ certificate.

When asked if commercial movies are easily cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Akshay told reporters, “Nothing like that. I made a film which was very entertaining, ‘Desi Boyz’, it got an adult certificate. Eros International (producer) knows about it. So there’s nothing like that. If it gets stuck, it gets stuck.”

Recently, several Bollywood personalities came out in support of Anurag Kashyap-Ekta Kapoor produced film ‘Udta Punjab’, which is embroiled in a controversy with the Censor Board over various cuts in the movie.

The Abhishek Chaubey-directed film is based on drug-related problems prevalent in Punjab.
