Friday, 8th July 2016, 05:00 PM IST After some big movies like ‘Udta Punjab’ and ‘Great Grand Masti’ leaked online and carried the watermark of censor copies, the Central Board of Films Certification has banned DVD copies of the films for certifying movies. There were many allegations that the board is responsible for the leaks. However CBFC Chief, Pahlaj Nihalani has clarified his point. Films now have to be submitted to the CBFC on the DCP format (digital cinema projection). In a recent media interaction, Pahlaj said, “We had so many complaints about DVD prints marked 'censor copy' being leaked online. Firstly the censor copy was made by the producers, not us. So the leakage could be sourced to any place from the point where the producers make copies. But we stopped that procedure. We now watch films on the digital format. So there is no censor copy made for us.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’sfirst Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
