00:00So 600 lakhs is what I paid for my certification for the Hindi version of Mark Antony.
00:06And this is corruption.
00:19If the actor is in this condition, what will happen to the other producers?
00:30I would like to address this to my Honourable Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde Sir and my Honourable
00:48Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji saab, jo hua CBFC mein.
00:55Film certification ke liye humne online mein apply kiya.
01:00We had to do it prior, maybe last week but because of technical issues we had to come
01:06in the last minute.
01:07But we were taken aback by what happened over there in CBFC office when my person had visited
01:15the place.
01:17There was an option given to us, 6.5 lakhs ka price ka certification karne ke liye.
01:26So we were left with no option.
01:29Pehle 3 lakh bejna tha dekhne ke liye film aur 3.5 lakh certificate maangne ke liye.
01:36So this was done by one lady, I don't know whether she's Miss or Mrs. Menaka, who did
01:43the entire transaction and of course it's recorded.
01:46It's not a job to record but I really want to record this just to make sure that it's
01:52not ordinary money, it's hard earned money.
01:55And definitely if this is the case for me, I don't know what's the case of other films.
01:59But she has also said that jo 15 din ke pehle apply kiya, wo 4 lakh mein katam karte, transaction
02:08aur certification ke liye wait kar rahe hain.
02:12So koi 6.5 lakh mein koi option nahi tha, maine pay kiya pehle 3 lakh aur ek account
02:18mein aur doosra account mein baar 3.5 lakh aur mil gaya mere certificate aur aaj film
02:25Mark Antony release hua North India mein.
02:28Lekin yeh dukhi ke baat hai, if this is the case in government offices, I really request
02:35the higher officials to look into this matter.
02:37Yes, my honourable Prime Minister has always stood against corruption and of course every
02:44leader stands against corruption and this is corruption.
02:47Mere liye actor ko aise haalat hai to doosra producers ke liye kya hoga, wohi soch mein
02:53dimaag mein hai.
02:54So please look into it sir.
02:56I'm looking forward for action to be taken.
