It's believed that the Commission wants to make sure that the film does not misrepresent the constitutional stand and laws on reservation. However, Prakash Jha is in no mood to give in to their demands and feels that he is not obliged to show his film to anybody apart from the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The filmmaker has said that if the Censor board feels that it wants to show the film to any other body then it is their prerogative.
