Now, NOC from PMO |
Unlike in the past, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now asked filmmaker Suresh Jha to get a no-objection certificate from the Prime Minister`s office for using Narendra Modi`s name in his movie titled Modi Ka Gaon.Whenever the name of a celebrity, leader or a known figure is used, the CBFC asks for an NOC from the makers. That`s a rule. If Bachchan`s, CM`s or PM`s name is used in the film, we demand an NOC, CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani said. The footage in the film has been shot without permission. They have used and shot a lot of things, Nihalani added. The filmmakers have also been asked to delete or replace the name `Pappu`, who has been portrayed as a local leader in the film. In this film, Pappu Bihari plays the role of a local leader, who not only opposes government policies, but is also famous for impractical and irrelevant statements, Jha said. He added that the CBFC) probably apprehended that `Pappu` might be linked to a prominent Congress leader. However, in Bihar, `Pappu` is a very common name. Incidentally, the Censor Board`s demand for an NOC from the PMO comes just a few days after it`s chief was upset about a court seeking cuts to a film after it had got it`s certificate. Akshay-Kumar-starrer ` Jolly LLB 2` was embroiled in a controversy with Indian only a few days ago.
