New Censor Board members announced
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Fifteen people from the world of film, theatre, journalism and academia have been appointed members of the Central Board of Film Certification for a three-year term.
The CBFC, which is responsible for censoring and rating all films shown in India, recently got a new chief when the government appointed Bharatanatyam dancer, choreographer and teacher Leela Samson as its chairperson.
Ms. Samson's appointment drew public attention as she is the first non-film personality in many years to hold the post. However, the list of her board members announced now does include a number of film personalities, including film-maker Shaji N. Karun, director Harnath Chakraborty, screenwriter Anjum Rajabali and actors Arundhati Nag and Pankaj Sharma. Movie critics Rajeev Masand and Shubhra Gupta are also on the team.
Quite a few names are from the world of theatre, with National School of Drama Chairperson Amal Allana heading the list.
Actor-director M. K. Raina has also been selected, and Ms. Nag is also known as a theatre actor.
Other board members include television producer Nikhil Alva, Hindustan Times Political Editor Pankaj Vohra, author and columnist Anees Jung, author Dipesh Mehta, journalist and poetess Mamang, and JNU professor of cinema studies Ira Bhaskar
