Prasoon Joshi flails advisory committee for their protests against Pad

CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi is aghast at
members of the Special Panel invited to
view Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati now
retitled to Padmavat, who are now
expressing displeasure over the film's
certification.
Says Prasoon, "The role of Special Panel was
only advisory in nature. Let's be clear that
role of the special panel was to give advice
and add perspective to the CBFCs regular
panel for which the CBFC is appreciative and
thankful.
However the CBFC chief is not agreeable to
members of the Special Panel claiming
ownership over the certification
of Padmavati. Says Prasoon, "The final
decision stays with the CBFC Committee. The
special panel were aware of this as well. In
the decision of CBFC, some parts of the
advice do find reflection but as iterated the
final decision for certification is with
the CBFC committee
Prasoon stands by the CBFC's decision on
Padmavati. "The CBFC has taken a pragmatic
and balanced view. Unnecessary
controversy should not be made out of it.
