‘Padmavati’ cleared by British Censor Board, but makers want nod from India’s CBFC

London, November 23 : ‘Padmavati’ has been cleared by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) without any cuts, but the producers say they are not planning to release the film without the Indian censor board’s go-ahead, sources said on Thursday.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film was given a 12A rating by the BBFC which passed it for audiences in the UK without any cuts. The 12A rating mandates that the film cannot be viewed by a child under the age of 12 unless accompanied by an adult.
“‘Padmavati’ (12A) moderate violence, injury detail,” stated the official website of the British Censor Board.
“All known versions of this work passed uncut,” it said.
However, sources at Viacom 18 said they were not planning to release the film anywhere in the world without the requisite clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
