Director Abhishek Jawkar of the upcoming movie “Missing On A Weekend” has sent a legal notice to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for its failure to issue a certification for the film.

Jawkar also said that CBFC didn’t provide him a written list of changes it had mentioned verbally. “It’s been 20 days since we applied for a certificate, but they neither issued the certificate nor provided us with the list of cuts, with which at least we could have approached the court,” Jawkar said in a statement.

“We made several rounds of their office, but to no avail. I thought of just being patient, but I have run out of patience now. Taking the legal option was not something I was too keen on, but that has strangely become my last hope,” he added.

The notice states that the film was earlier slated for release on July 1 and the makers applied for the censor certificate on June 22 but have not received the certificate and also not received the written list of cuts, because of which lakhs of rupees have been lost.

The board suggested 51 cuts in the film, but Jawkar alleges that it was done verbally.
