Quick Read
In September, mid-day reported that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had held up the certification of Mamta Child Factory since its June submission (Pregnant pause on film’s future, Sep 18). Over a month on, the dispute has escalated. The CBFC issued a show-cause notice, dated October 14, to director Mohsin Khan, questioning the film’s originality. The notice states that Mamta Child Factory is a dubbed version and hence, cannot be certified as an “original” work.
Speaking to mid-day, an infuriated Khan says that he had directed two movies with the same script and cast — a Marathi version, titled Delivery Boy (2024), and a Hindi offering, titled Mamta Child Factory. The Marathi film was cleared by the CBFC in January 2024 and released in February 2024.
