Condemning the decision of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for refusing to certify his upcoming Bollywood flick 'Lipstick Under My Burkha', producer Prakash Jha said, "This problem will end only when we will focus on certification rather than censoring the movie."
Talking exclusively to ANI, Jha said, "Central Board of Film Certification have certain people, who have their own thought process and they interpret the guidelines differently."
