A filmmaker and member of India's powerful censorship board lambasted the panel's new chairman on Thursday, following a string of controversies over the handling of movie releases. Ashoke Pandit released a statement on his Facebook page describing Pahlaj Nihalani, chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), as a "tyrant" committing "mayhem". "From the day this man has taken the reins of the Board, the CBFC is resembling like a wild horse gone amok," Pandit said. Nihalani, an open supporter of right-wing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was appointed head of the CBFC after the previous censor chief quit in January, accusing the government of interfering in her decisions.
