CBFC Chief Says Yash’s Toxic Teaser Was Not Certified as Jana Nayagan Case Returns to Madras High Court

He underscores that many promos posted to YouTube or OTT do not go through CBFC review.

Overview

  • Prasoon Joshi said the CBFC comments only when content is formally submitted for certification.
  • He clarified that clips released directly on digital platforms frequently have not undergone CBFC scrutiny.
  • The Toxic teaser drew objections from the AAP women’s wing in Karnataka and activist Dinesh Kallahalli over explicit imagery.
  • The Karnataka State Commission for Women wrote to the CBFC asking it to examine the complaint and take appropriate action.
  • On Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, Joshi declined comment as the matter is sub judice, with the Supreme Court directing the dispute back to the Madras High Court for a January 20 hearing.
