As a teenager, Shlok Sharma thought there were three kinds of cinema in this world: Bollywood, Hollywood and art. Years of watching and dreaming about cinema in various languages led him to a richer idea of movies, and motivated him to make films. But the 32-year-old filmmaker, bruised by a long battle with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over Haraamkhor, his film on a love affair between a teacher and a minor student, has a new lesson to learn. “Producers have begun to ask us, filmmakers, to veer away from the ‘A’ tag and make ‘U/A’ films to avoid censor trouble. Now we have to start making films not by story or genre but by certification category.”
