Actress Vidya Balan performs her CBFC duties

Vidya Balan paid a visit to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on Tuesday, after being appointed as a core member. The actress was there to head a revising committee screening for the satellite screening issue of the English film Token. This happens to be the first time that she has headed a revising committee. 

Reveals a source, “Vidyaji was there to view the film, and they certified it. She had a good time with the team, and also clicked pictures with them, as well as other members of the CBFC. Later, she also viewed a few film trailers that had come in for certification.” The actress had recently told us about her role. “A lot of people don’t know what it means to be a board member. We don’t watch all of the movies. Only when there’s a problem do we see the film,” she had said. Apart from Vidya, known names like Vivek Agnihotri, Vani Tripathi Tikoo, Mihir Bhuta and others were also made a part of the new CBFC team headed by Prasoon Joshi, after he became the chief following Pahlaj Nihalani’s unceremonious sacking.
