"Adipurush Jaisi Behuda Film...": Govind Namdev Hits Out At Censor Board For Giving 'OMG 2' Movie 'A' Certificate
'OMG 2' actor Govind Namdev was left fuming after CBFC gave an 'A' certificate to the new Hindi movie.
'OMG 2', starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, released in theatres on August 11, and despite facing stiff competition from Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2, the new movie has managed to rake in the moolah, and all credit should go to a glowing word-of-mouth. The new Hindi movie deals with a sensitive topic like sex education. However, the target audience of the movie that is the teenagers are not able to watch the movie legally as Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given the movie an 'A' certificate.
In the latest entertainment news, actor Govind Namdev who also has a key role in the movie, has let it rip at the Censor Board for giving the movie an 'A' certificate. He used the reference of 'Adipurush' to make his point.
In a long Facebook post, the actor wrote: "OMG, O MY GOD is released finally with 24 Censor cuts n senseless A certificate so that teenagers should not see the movie for whom the movie is made And Cesor has passed it ! Jo dimaag censor board ko 'Adipurush' jaisi behuda film ko censor karne me lagana chahie tha wo unhone 'OMG' jaisi Thoughtful-Progressive film ko katne-kutne me kharch kardia. Waah."
"It will be a wise step if Censor rectify its mistake n give at least UA certificate to let a positive revolution set in for the betterment of our society’s teenagers upbringing. Thunderous applause by the audiences in theatres today speaks volumes about the film. God bless," he added.
