"Just heard... Another film, Neeraj Pandey's 'Saat Uchakkey', refused certificate. Can we please just go straight to the Tribunal to save time," Kashyap tweeted on Monday night.
"Maybe it's time to get the children out of CBFC and bar them from examining adult films 'Saat Uchakkey', 'Haraamkhor'," he added.
