This came after  Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) reportedly refused to certify film 'Rangeela Raja' that was initially staled to release on vember 16 this year and ordered 20 cuts.  film is produced by former CBFC chief and filmmaker Pahlaj Nihalani.

'Ilzaam' star furr stated that ne of Bollywood celebrities extended support to actor and moreover, Nihalani is questioned for supporting him.  

"Our film industry was never like this and it seems we are living in a different world. If someone would have supported me n I would have t faced problems. Today one is supporting me. I don't have financiers or producers backing me. When he (Nihalani) is supporting me, he has been told, why are you working with Govinda," PTI quoted 54-year-old actor as saying. 

Meanwhile, talking about CBFC cuts, Nihalani claims that his film 'Rangeela Raja' is a clean family drama, and he is t able to figure out why so many cuts are suggested by organisation. 

PTI quoted him as saying, "I h applied for U/A certificate and I got that. 'A' certificate is given in case content has elements of horror, vulgarity, obscenity and violence. In our film re is kiss on cheeks also. It is an entertaining film,"

"Producers have to wait in some cases longer to get certificate and this t only results in a delay in releasing film but producers also face financial losses. ministry should do something," he ded.

As per media reports, filmmaker furr stated that he feels that  current CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi is t sincere and should be sacked. In a statement, as reported by PTI, he said,  "He did watch Aamir Khan's 'Thugs Of Hindostan' but did t watch my film. Later he watched and gave a list of unnecessary cuts without any reference of guideline from rulebook. He should be sacked and I do t kw why whole film industry is silent. He does t go to office, he calls producers at Taj hotel and makes m wait for four hours to give certificate for ir films."

makers of film have moved Bombay High Court to seek justice against decision of CBFC. Lawyer Ashok Saraogi, who was also present at press conference, said team chose to show 20 cuts given by CBFC to media to get ir views on matter.  hearing is on Monday.
