Rangeela Raja: Here’s Why Pahlaj Nihalani Doesn’t Wants To Come With Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero & Ranveer Singh’s Simmba

The battle of words with the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) has ended for Pahlaj Nihalani. His film Rangeela Raja, which had been ordered 20 cuts by the Examining Committee, has now been passed with only three cuts by the Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal (FCAT), also known as the Tribunal.

But according to Nihalani, even those cuts are unjustified.

“They have objection on my using names from the Ramayan and the Mahabharat. Do they think they own these scriptures? The holy books belong to all of us. And we know how to respect them.

“They also feel I was disrespecting women in the film. I’ve never done that in my 40 years as a filmmaker. In our family, women run the show,” Nihalani said.

He feels the CBFC has practised a vendetta policy against him.
