Amid a row over Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' not getting a censor certificate from CBFC, Ram Gopal Varma said, "It's...foolish to think that...censor board is still relevant today." He blamed the film industry for allowing CBFC to exist for so long. "Censor board was born in an era...when...the state controlled the media...But today, any form of control is impossible," he said.
