Pahlaj Nihalani registers ‘Sanskari’ as title for future film

CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani has registered Sanskari as a title for a future movie. Nihalani has previously been embroiled in the Spectre kissing scene axing controversy and for openly supporting PM Modi.

Not long ago, online trolls were having a field day making fun of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief Pahlaj Nihalani. Even reporters and editors went ahead with names like ‘sanskari censor’ and ‘sanskari censor chief’ when a few seconds of a kiss were cut short in the latest Bond film, Spectre. And now, Pahlaj is going all sanskari, the sarkari way: He has registered ‘Sanskari’ as a film title, as per reports.

Pahlaj Nihalani’s love affair with Sanskar continues.

According to a Mumbai Mirror article, Nihalani had put in a request with the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) on November 28 to register the title for his production banner Chirag Deep International. “Yes, I have registered the title, it’s a good one. If you can have a film titled Sanyasi, why can’t you have one called Sanskari?” the tabloid quoted Pahlaj.
