Tamil actor Vishal has not taken too kindly to corruption in real life and accused the Central Board of Film Certification (Cbfc) of extorting Rs 6.5 lakh from him, in order to greenlight the Hindi version of his film ‘Mark Antony’. This was done in two parts as it was Rs 3 lakh for screening and Rs 3.5 lakh for just giving it certification, he said.

Lodging his complaint, the actor-director has issued a strongly worded statement. He appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to immediately crack down on this whole corruption scandal.

The ‘Thaamirabharani’ actor-director took to his X handle, formerly called Twitter, and wrote: “#Corruption being shown on silver screen is fine. But not in real life. Can’t digest. Especially in government offices. And even worse happeningin #Cbfc Mumbai office. Had to pay 6.5 lacs for my film #MarkAntonyHindi version. 2 transactions. 3 Lakhs for screening and 3.5 Lakhs for certificate.
