“I have received the letter from the CBFC today. The board has removed the cuts it previously wanted except the word Gujarat,” Ghosh told IANS here.
“I also had a very positive conversation with CBFC chairman Prasoon Joshi,” he added.
The director who previously refused to abide by the censor board’s suggestion to mute those four words in the film and hinted he might release the film online, said he has not taken any decision on whether he would go ahead with the word in the film or drop it.
“I have just received the letter today. So nothing has been decided yet. I will shortly take a decision on the film’s release,” he added.
The hour-long documentary, structured as a free flowing conversation between Sen and his student and Cornell economics professor Kaushik Basu, shot in two parts in 2002 and 2017 and has Sen talking about the social choice theory, development economics, philosophy and the rise of right-wing nationalism across the world, including India.
