For Vishal Bhardwaj, censor board final authority on films!
New Delhi, April 11: Filmmaker-composer Vishal Bhardwaj, who refused to screen his forthcoming co-production "Ek Thi Daayan" before a women's commission, says only the censor board has the authority to assess a film.
Directed by Kannan Iyer, "Ek Thi Daayan" is a supernatural thriller that revolves around a witch.
The National Commission for Women (Ncw) summoned both the producers - Ekta Kapoor and Bhardwaj - after Ipsita Roy Chakraverti, a Wiccan priestess, filed a complain alleging that the film shows women in regressive roles. They wanted to see the film.
Chakraverti had also filed a petition to President.
