SEX is no longer taboo for CBFC (Central Board Of Film Certification) in India. CBFC has shown his soft side to Mirza Juuliet which is a rustic adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. CBFC has granted ‘A’ certificate.

Reveals the source, "The film is set in the North Indian heartland and is quite raw, visually and verbally. The Censor Board has allowed a lot of it (read: cusswords) to remain. Chandan Roy Sanyal plays a horny suitor of the heroine. He is constantly lusting, and in one sequence he is even seen masturbating while calling out her name. Surprisingly, the CBFC has allowed the bold sequence."

"I thought of it a challenge for me as an actor. Surprisingly female audiences who have watched the scene have laughed. My character is so horny all the time, he’s funny. He has the audience in splits. I am surprised that the CBFC didn’t cut out the masturbation scene," says Chandan Roy Sanyal.

While Pahlaj Nihalani says, "We are not prudes. When sex is an integral part of the plot, we allow it. Mirza Juuliet is defined by the politics of violence. We’ve cut as little as possible."
