Mumbai, January 2: Responding to the allegations of royal family member Mahendra Singh Mewar and another panelist who attended the special screening of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati, Central Board of Film Certification chief Prasoon Joshi said that CBFC is the only authority to take a final call on issuing a certificate to Deepika Padukone starrer epic drama.

The veteran lyricist thanked all the resource persons in the special panel including professors, Historian, and members of royal family. He further claimed that constitution of the special panel was limited to an advisory role. The CBFC Chairperson expressed displeasure over the unnecessary controversy by questioning the certification process. As reported by Mumbai Mirror, Joshi maintained that CBFC committee has taken a pragmatic and balanced stand on the period drama crafted by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
