Ashvin Kumar's 'No Fathers In Kashmir' Gets U/A Certificate, Cuts and Disclaimers Suggested

Ashvin Kumar's No Fathers in Kashmir has been embroiled in controversy over film certification. The film is based in Kashmir and follows the love story of two 16-year-olds who are in search for their fathers who have gone missing. Respite comes for the makers in the form of a U/A certificate issued to the film by The Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT). The body has suggested No Fathers In Kashmir is fit for the U/A certificate after a few cuts and disclaimers are incorporated in the movie.

The tension between the makers of the film and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) began in July 2018. After the first viewing took place in October, CBFC passed the film with an 'A' certificate. The makers challenged the decision and went to the FCAT in November. Subsequentlym two hearings were organised, one in December and another one in January.

Actress Alia Bhatt had also supported the film as her mother, Soni Razdan, features in it. Expressing her displeasure in the matter, she had written, “Was soo looking forward to mom's @nofathers_movie #nofathersinkashmir!! @Soni_Razdan @ashvinkumar & team worked super hard for this honest teens love story in Kashmir. Really hope the CBFC would #lifttheban. It’s a film about empathy & compassion... let’s give love a chance!”

After the suggested changes are made, the film will reach the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for the final stamp. No Fathers In Kashmir also features Anshuman Jha and Kulbushan Kharbanda in pivotal roles. The film has no set date for a theatrical release yet.
