Controversy
Pahlaj Nihalani criticized the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for not reviewing his movie, Rangeela Raja, for 40 days since the date of submission.[7] The moviw was screened by the CBFC just two weeks ahead of its release, and the producer was asked to make 20 cuts. Nihalani accused the CBFC chairperson, Prasoon Joshi, of favoritism; he said that preferential treatment was extended to big studios.[8] The ex-chairperson of CBFC moved the Bombay High Court against CBFC.[9]
