The Central Board of Film Certification has decided to take on the Bollywood producers’ body by laying down a diktat that all publicity posters have to be cleared by the censor board. The board has also issued a list of cuss words that will be banned in films, while also asking film-makers to use 'Mumbai' and not Bombay.

The letter by Central Board of Film Certification chief Pahlaj Nihalani directs its regional officers not to issue certificates to films which use these words, which are abuses in Hindi and English, and it has also been specified that double meaning words, violence against women and glorification of bloodshed not be allowed.
