Censor Board to press for strict rules

The regional officer of Central Board of Film Certification, Hyderabad, has requested the AP Film Chamber of Commerce to follow its norms strictly, while submitting films for certification.

Every week, Tollywood releases two or three films, but the general practice of filmmakers has been to rush to the CBFC for certification just a couple of days before the release. Since producers publicise the date of release, the CBFC officials come under pressure to clear the film in time for its release as per schedule.

According to CBFC rules, a film has to be submitted for certification at least 21 days in advance. Producers should not announce the date of release of the film until the censors clear the film and give a certificate.

After submission of a film, the advisory panel members are intimated about a date on which the movie will be watched for giving it a certification. It is learnt that since the producers are hardly giving adequate time to the Censor officials, quite often only those advisory panel members who are available at call are given the responsibility of watching the film. For a long time, the CBFC had been so accommodative that producers were not put to loss because of the delay in getting a certificate even if the movie was submitted at the last minute.
