Vishal on Tuesday appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Mumbai as part of the ongoing investigation against the Central Board of Certification (CBFC).
Vishal took to social media to confirm the news and expressed disbelief about being part of a CBI probe.
“Now on my way to CBI office in Mumbai for an enquiry regarding the CBFC case. Lol. Never ever thought I will be going to this office too in my life,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“Just finished my visit to CBI office in Mumbai for an enquiry regarding the CBFC case. Was a complete new experience and am glad the way the enquiry is being conducted. Took some inputs too about how a CBI office would look like. Lol. Never ever thought in my life I will be going to this Govt office too. Need to step in to stand up against corruption in real life too and not just in reel life,” he added.
In September this year, Vishal released a video making serious allegations against the CBFC office in Mumbai .
He alleged that he was forced to pay bribes to the members of the censor board to get a clearance for his previous movie, ‘Mark Antony’.
Allegedly, he disbursed a sum of Rs 6.5 lakh as a bribe to secure certification for the Hindi version of the movie in North Indian states.
