The former president of the censor board is very upset with the 20 cut in his forthcoming film Rangila Raja. Pankaj Nihalani who also served as a Chief of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was like a nightmare.
During Pankaj Nihalani tenure Deadpool to Udta Punjab and few more movies were in much controversy because he made multiple cuts in the censor. Now after the cut on his film, he has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court. The high court has rejected the petition of Pankaj Nihalani to hear on urgent basic.

Speaking to a media group on cutting scenes from Rangila Raja, he said that the way the censor board responded to my film is disappointing. I do not do movies on which the sensor is objectionable.
The pair of Govinda and Pankaj Nihalani once again returns to the big screen after 25 years with Rangila Raja.
The film took more than 40 days on the censor board, on which even Nihalani had spoken of delaying. The former censor board chairman also said that Aamir Khan and Prasoon Joshi were friends, so the Board cleared Thugs of Hindustan immediately even they applied after 20 days.
My film was reviewed 40 days after applying. I was going to release my film on Nov 8. Thugs of Hindostan had applied 20 days after me. Prasoon Joshi&Aamir Khan are good friends, so they were given preference. The cuts suggested for my film violate CBFC guidelines: Pahlaj Nihalani pic.twitter.com/5FcfYsEUwN

However, netizens didn’t want to hear a word and are just calling it a KARMA. What Goes Around Comes Back Around.

That’s how Karma works. If you give Soan Papdi to others, you get Soan Papdi in return. https://t.co/yeGAo4cMob
