CBFC blurs Mumbai Saga scene depicting RSS in bad light

The CBFC has blurred a scene depicting the RSS in a derogatory manner in Mumbai Saga. However, a legal battle continues to make the producers of the film apologise for the scene.

In a stern action the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has blurred a scene depicting Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a derogatory manner in Mumbai Saga. The film, produced by Sangita Ahir, wife of Shiv Sena leader Sachin Ahir, was streamed on Amazon Prime Video in May. The CBFC has taken the action after an RSS worker Mahesh Bhingarde took a strong objection to the “mischievous” and “misleading" scene. He had served a legal notice to the film's producers and directors with a demand to seek unconditional apology. The producers of the film, Super Cassette Industries Private Limited and White Feather Private Limited, had admitted their mistake in filming the scene. They too had requested the CBFC to blur the scene as it sent a wrong message.
