Vishal's Allegations on CBFC: Investigation underway!

Hero Vishal has made allegations of corruption within the Mumbai Central Board of Film Certification office, sparking a heated debate. The government of India also responded quickly to the issue and ordered a committee on the same to investigate the matter.

Now, the pressure on board members has been mounting. Reports suggest that Censor Board Chief Prasoon Joshi has called for an emergency meeting to address Vishal's allegations. During this meeting, Joshi will discuss the issue with all the members.

In the wake of Vishal's accusations, it is reported that the board has yet to clear the censorship of upcoming Hindi and regional films. As a result, filmmakers are contemplating postponing the release of their films.

The incident that triggered these allegations occurred on the 28th of last month when Vishal was required to pay a bribe for the censorship of the Hindi version of the film 'Mark Antony,' in which he stars.

Vishal claimed he paid around Rs 6.5 lakh as a bribe for the film's censorship. He expressed willingness to tolerate corruption on screen but could not accept such practices in real life. He alleged that the concerned authorities demanded Rs. 3.5 lakhs for the censorship process and an additional Rs. Three lakhs for the certificate.

The central government is currently investigating the matter. More developments on the same are yet to come out.
