Three days after the regional branch of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) sent a film based on demonetisation to chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani for clearance, director Suvendu Ghosh was called over to the board's Kolkata office on Friday and told that his film, 'Shunyota', had been cleared for UA certification with six cuts.

Ghosh was asked to mute or delete dialogues and sequences critical of the note ban.

"The chairperson of CBFC has decided the matter. The movie was cleared as per the recommendations of the exam-ining committee. The majority decision of the committee was upheld by the chairperson," said Ajoy Mahmia, the regional officer of CBFC Kolkata.
