Alia
Bhatt
has
come
out
in
support
of
her
mother
Soni
Razdan's
film
No
Fathers
in
Kashmir,
which
is
has
been
stuck
over
certification
issues,
saying
the
movie
is
about
compassion
and
the
CBFC
should
lift
the
ban
on
it.
The
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
(CBFC),
however,
has
denied
having
imposed
a
ban
on
the
movie,
saying
that
it
is
"unfortunate" that
"unwarranted
pressure"
is
being
put
by
spreading
'misinformation
of
a
ban'.
The
board
said
any
news
of
CBFC
banning
the
film
is
"completely
false"
and
all
"responsible"
people
should
take
account.
The
film
has
been
stuck
with
the
CBFC
for
over
six
months
and
has
been
offered
an
'A' certificate.
Its
makers
have
challenged
the
board's
decision
and
demanded
a
'U/A'
certification,
according
to
media
reports.
Bhatt's
comments
came
Thursday
after
actor
Swara
Bhaskar
came
out
in
support
of
"No
Fathers
in
Kashmir"
director
Ashvin
Kumar.
Was
soo
looking
forward
to
mom's
@nofathers_movie#nofathersinkashmir!!
@Soni_Razdan
@ashvinkumar
&
team
worked
super
hard
for
this
honest
teens
love
story
in
Kashmir.," Bhatt
tweeted.
"Really
hope
the
CBFC
would
#lifttheban.
It's
a
film
about
empathy
&
compassionlet's
give
love
a
chance,
she
said
on
Twitter.
The
media
reports
claimed
that
the
CBFC
has
given
an
'A' certificate
to
"No
Fathers
in
Kashmir"
and
the
makers
think
it
is
a
completely
inappropriate
decision.
The
makers
have
challenged
censor
board's
decision
and
appealed
to
a
higher
authority,
the
Film
Certification
Appellate
Tribunal
(FCAT),
to
look
into
the
matter,
according
to
the
reports.
Regional
Officer
CBFC
Mumbai
Tushar
Karmarkar
said,
"We
are
disappointed
with
the
misinformation
being
spread
about
the
film
'No
fathers
in
Kashmir'.
Any
news
of
CBFC
banning
this
film
is
completely
false.
And
all
responsible
people
should
take
account
of
that."
"We
want
to
again
clarify
that
filmmakers
of
'No
fathers
in
Kashmir'
have
already
been
offered
an
adult
certificate
and
the
reasons
thereof
have
clearly
been
communicated
to
them," he
told
PTI.
"It's
unfortunate
that
unwarranted
pressure
is
being
put
by
spreading
misinformation
of
a
ban'.
CBFC
will
continue
to
do
its
work
in
a
fair
and
transparent
manner
without
succumbing
to
misguided
pressure
tactics,"
Karmarkar
said.
Reportedly,
fresh
cuts
were
again
demanded
in
the
film
and
Kumar
has
been
running
between
the
CBFC
and
the
FCAT
to
get
an
'U/A'
certificate
for
his
film
as
he
thinks
that
his
film
deserves
a
wider
audience.
