Controversies

Udta Punjab Controversy

The Rahasya actor has talked openly about his feelings towards censorship. We are all aware that Anurag Kashyap's production company Udta Punjab recently had issues with the CBFC which made news headlines. Menon was really irate when questioned about it. I've always thought that censorship is BS! It shouldn't ever occur. You can certify since you are a certification body. However, don't censor don't turn into someone's maai-baap by telling them they can do this or they can't do that. 

Therefore make the movie you want to make and then have it certified. That's all there is. The actor does in fact make a lot of sense. The actor does in fact make a lot of sense. With this statement he joins the army of actors directors and producers vying to have the CBFC carry out the same concept.
