Pandit, Maulvi censor film

With PK coming under fire for its anti-religion stance, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has decided that all films dealing with issues of religion will only receive certification after any and all misgivings are clear.

A religious satire Dharam Sankat Mein is due for release. The Board went ahead and invited a Muslim maulvi and a Hindu pandit as 'religious experts' to know their opinions and to nip any possible controversies that could arise because of the film's content, in the bud.

DSM is an official remake of a British comedy called The Infidel, where a man born into one religion finds out his parentage is of another one. The remake stars Paresh Rawal.

According to our source in the CBFC, "Utmost caution was exercised in censoring the film and a U certificate was issued only after taking into account the expert opinion of both religious heads."
