Director Sanjay Sharma has publicly questioned the Central Board of Film Certification after his film Sahiya faced unexpected delays in the certification process.
Sanjay Sharma, known for his previous works, has expressed frustration after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) delayed the clearance of his latest feature, Sahiya. The film, which tackles social issues, was expected to clear the board by early March but has yet to receive a verdict.
In a statement released on the director's official social media, Sharma questioned the board’s decision-making process and highlighted the lack of clear communication regarding the delay. He urged the CBFC to expedite the review to avoid further postponement of the film’s release.
Industry insiders say the delay could push Sahiya’s theatrical launch from the planned April window to a later date, potentially affecting the film’s commercial prospects. Sharma remains hopeful that the board will resolve the issue soon.
