Vishal thanks I&B Ministry for ordering immediate enquiry into CBFC after his allegations of corruption
Vishal said the government’s necessary steps have brought a sense of satisfaction to a common man like me
After the Information and Broadcasting ministry ordered an “immediate inquiry” into actor Vishal’s allegation that he had to pay Rs.6.5 lakh to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for the certification of the Hindi version of his Tamil film Mark Antony, the Tamil star on Saturday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and MIB for taking ‘necessary steps’.
Vishal said the government’s necessary steps have brought a “sense of satisfaction to a common man like me.”
Vishal publicly accused officials at the Indian film certification body.
A few hours later, the information and broadcasting ministry said senior officials had been deputed to probe further on the “unfortunate” issue of corruption brought forth by actor Vishal.
On Friday, CBFC also reacted to the issue, assuring that strict action will be taken against those found guilty. On the other hand, the board also made it clear that any attempt to tarnish its image will not be tolerated.
