Apparently, the panel is of the opinion that filmmakers often divulge as to why certain cuts were made in their films, to the media.
Samvad is being held by the Central Board of Film Certification along with Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and will be attended by several eminent personalities from the industry.
A source from the Censor Board says, "The board is concerned with the fact that whatever happens in the Examining Committee (EC) is later leaked out by the filmmakers either for publicity or other reasons.

Ideally, the reasons given for cutting certain scenes or songs should stay between the board and the producers. But the board has noticed that these things are loosely talked about to the media and it creates a lot of problems."
