Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar claimed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked for 12 cuts despite an `A` certificate in his film, `India Lockdown`. The upcoming project revolves around four central characters and their journeys during the first COVID-19 lockdown. Actor Shweta Basu Prasad`s track in the film is about sex workers and highlights their plight during this phase.
"All these cuts are from the track that focuses on a sex worker`s life in Kamathipura. The language, I`m told, is problematic. The language has been used to keep the story authentic and we are ready to accept an `A` certificate. But removing so many words and important scenes will dilute the impact and essence of the plot. To retain the authenticity in the film, I had to keep these elements as a part of the narrative. We now plan to approach the revising committee," he said.
