Ace filmmaker R. Balki says the newly appointed Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chairperson is sensible person who will support cinema in the right way.

Balki recently said, "I think Prasoon is a very sensible and an artistic person. He understands what is cinema's purpose... He understands the true reason there's a censor board and that it's supposed to be a certification board."

"Of course, there are certain things that the government would come upon saying 'Don't do this, don't do that'. But that would be a few incidents here and there, and they should be exceptions, not the rule," said the filmmaker.

"Prasoon will understand that the job of the board is to certify films, and not to cut them. A censor board is a supporter of films, not a destroyer. I think the censor Boardaes job is to protect our films and not to kind of attack them," he said at last.
