CBFC Chief Pahlaj Nihalani has demanded 48 cuts in Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, despite the film receiving an A certificate. In order to talk about the same and the growing troubles created by Nihalani, many filmmakers along with Babumoshai Bandookbaaz team held a press conference in Mumbai on Wednesday.

During the press conference, Nawazuddin was asked about his opinion on the cuts being demanded. Responding on the same, Nawaz said, “The situation is such that I have to count my words. There is no creative freedom. These words and language are important. The local flavour is important for the character and story growth. As an actor, I think if the film has a local flavour, it becomes global. My character is not polished, how can I not use abusive language?”
