actually
have
a
reasonable,
rational

the
CBFC.
U/A
with
one
voluntary
audio
deletion..."I
was
asked
by
the
board,
my
intention
to
make
this
film
and
I
spoke
freely
and
fearlessly
and
was
accorded
the
respect

that
happened
was
GOW

you
@prasoonjoshi_
and
@smritiirani
and
the
board

the
revising
committee
panel.
Just
to
be

to
speak
freely

fearlessly
makes
it
all
so
worth
it," Kashyap
