Filmmaker Abhinay Deo Accepts A Certificates for Doosra and Delhi Belly Without Major Cuts
Filmmaker Abhinay Deo discussed his experience with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) regarding his films Doosra and Delhi Belly, both of which received A certificates with minimal changes. Deo stated he prefers accepting an adult rating over making cuts that compromise his films. Doosra, inspired by India's NatWest Series cricket victory, explores themes of personal freedom and faced some CBFC concerns, including a brief nude photograph and a reference to the Babri Masjid episode, which Deo chose not to alter.
