The 4-day long Easter weekend may or may not spell good news at the Box Office for the new releases. But it’s certainly show time for films awaiting certification.
We understand from well-placed sources that the Censor Board office is being opened up on Saturday specially to give the censor certificate to Bobby Khan’s Sunny Leone starrer Ek Paheli Leela.
