The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has clarified that it does not certify content on digital platforms. In a statement, the CBFC said it had not received any application to certify the song Sarke Chunar from the upcoming Kannada film KD The Devil.
The board, headed by lyricist-writer Prasoon Joshi, stated that content on digital platforms is not certified by CBFC, and all queries should be directed to the platform and the makers of the song.
The song Sarke Chunar, which features Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, has been at the center of a controversy due to its sexually explicit lyrics. The song has been pulled down from YouTube, and the makers of the song have faced criticism from several public figures.
KD The Devil, a period action entertainer inspired by real events from 1970s Bangalore, is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 30.
