After two years, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has finally agreed to certify the Malayalam film Ka Bodyscapes, directed by US-based filmmaker Jayan Cherian.
Ever since Jayan Cherian first approached the board for certification in 2015, the CBFC has been consistently denying him the certificate, citing that the film was insulting and humiliating Hindu religion and Hindu gods.
Jayan had approached the Kerala High Court last year and the court had directed the board to certify the film.
Following this, in a letter dated September 19, Dr Prathibha A, the Regional Officer of CBFC, informed the filmmaker that the board was willing to certify the film under some conditions.
