However, reportedly, CBFC is impressed with the film’s content. Shoojit Sircar in a leading daily stated, “The CBFC has always been empathetic to my films, right from ‘Vicky Donor’, which was about sperm donation. They have always understood the relevance of my film’s subject.”

Talking about ‘Akira’ and ‘Pink’, CBFC chief, Pahlaj Nihalani said, “‘Akira’ and ‘Pink’ are dark powerful films with hard-hitting content. Normally, they would be granted Adult certificates. But we’ve given them U/A certificates because we at the CBFC feel pre-adult audiences, kids teenagers and adolescents, need to know what dangers awaits them outside their homes.”

‘Pink’ which is directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury also stars Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Andrea Tariang. The movie releases on September 16 and the trailer of the film has already created a good buzz.
