The Centre reconstitutes the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with an 18-member board that includes actor Preity Zinta, Suniel Shetty and Pankaj Tripathi. The appointments are effective immediately.
Multiple outlets report the board is constituted for a fixed period of three years, subject to further directions or earlier termination, and is headed by CBFC chairperson Shashi Shekhar Vempati. While most coverage focuses on the composition and tenure of the reconstituted board, one outlet also mentions related industry developments—specifically that Excel Entertainment takes voluntary steps regarding content from the “Mirzapur” series—without indicating it changes the CBFC decision itself.
