![]() In a letter addressed to CBFC chairperson, HRIDAY said that CBFC has taken the decision considering that almost 30 percent of the scenes in 'Heroine', directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, depict tobacco use.
"There is strong evidence and a proven link that depiction of tobacco uses in films leaves an adverse impact on the public, especially women and children. Many teenagers light their first cigarette or use their first tobacco product after watching their favourite actor use tobacco on-screen," it said. As per the new directions of CBFC, the film will now have to show a statutory warning during every scene depicting tobacco use.
