Nihalani justifies the NoC demand saying filmmakers have used the actual footage of Modi and other leaders, which cannot be shown without their permission.

Two filmmakers from Mumbai have been asked by the Censor Board chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani to get a no-objection certificate from none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get their documentary on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal released in India.

Khusboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla, the makers of Hindi-English documentary titled An Insignificant Man, have chronicled the anti-corruption protests of which Anna Hazare was the face, and which resulted in the birth of the Aam Aadmi Party, the NDA sweeping to power at the Centre, and Kejriwal becoming the Delhi Chief Minister with a thumping majority.
