Anurag Thakur seeks explanation on CBFC nod for Oppenheimer

New Delhi, 24/7: Taking serious note of an objectionable scene in Christopher Nolan-helmed Oppenheimer, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur has sought an explanation from the Central Board of Film Certification and asked it to take corrective action.

Thakur is understood to have asked the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to get the scene where Oppenheimer appears to indulge in sexual intercourse while reading verses from the Bhagavad Gita deleted from the movie.

 

He has also asked the Board to fix accountability on persons responsible for clearing the movie with the scene in question.

 

Information Commissioner Uday Mahurkar had written an open letter to Nolan, terming the scene a “disturbing attack on Hinduism” and appealed to the film director to remove the scene worldwide.
