Amid reports that the CBFC has asked the makers of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Pathaan" to make changes to the shots used in its song ‘Besharam Rang', lyricist-writer Javed Akhtar has said filmmakers need to have "trust" in the film certification body that has the authority to decide what will and what will not make the final cut.
His comments came a day before the trailer launch of "Pathaan", a high-octane spy thriller directed by Siddharth Anand.
Referring to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) as a "department" under the central government", the 77-year-old industry veteran on Monday said, "It is not for me or you to decide whether the song is right or wrong. We have an agency.
"There are people from the government and a cross-section of the society watch the film and decide what will be passed and what will not be passed.
