Karan Johar wants censorship to be the final authority

Nov 24, 2014 NR

Why should protests against movies that have received the green signal from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for release be entertained, wonders film-maker Karan Johar.

"I wish censorship was the final authority. I am fighting court cases that are ridiculous. I am still fighting a case for 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'. I wish there was a ruling finally and with the current governance being so proactive, I hope this is one of the things they should look into and say that censorship is the final law."

"If it doesn't happen, filmmakers like me will be the soft target", Karan said during a session titled "An afternoon at Film Bazaar with Rajeev Masand" on the final day of Film Bazaar at Panaji on Monday.

Karan was reportedly charged with insulting the National anthem in his 2001 directorial "Khabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham".
