In an email, CBFC Chairperson Shashi Shekhar Vempati said the board doesn’t comment on the certification of individual films. India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, under which the film board functions, told Parliament in December that cuts are only made if the content violates the “sovereignty and integrity of India, security, public order, decency, morality, defamation, contempt of court or incitement to offence.” The film board has certified nearly 72,000 films over the last five years, the ministry said.
