The makers of "Lipstick Under My Burkha" had to approach the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) once again after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was dragging its heels to grant a certificate to the film. Now the censor body has been directed to certify the movie within a week.

The FCAT issued an order in this regard on Friday, read a statement issued on behalf of the film's makers.

Producer Prakash Jha said in a statement: "Since the CBFC was not issuing the certificate, we had to approach the FCAT again. I'm glad the FCAT has directed the CBFC to issue the certification to the film within the week. We will be announcing the release date soon."
