Censor Board Roadblock for Hemwant Tiwari’s “Krishna Arjun”!

Actor, writer, and director #HemwantTiwaris latest cinematic experiment, Krishna Arjun — a unique one-shot feature film — has hit a major roadblock. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has put a pause on the film’s release, raising concerns about its content. However, Tiwari maintains that the film contains nothing objectionable or offensive.

According to Tiwari, the CBFC has flagged the film for allegedly depicting caste-related issues and containing scenes deemed inappropriate. He, however, strongly disagrees with this assessment, stating that the film is an engaging, socially relevant story without any elements that should raise alarms. The controversy has drawn attention not only to Krishna Arjun but also to the growing interest in experimental formats like one-shot films in India.

Alongside Hemwant Tiwari, the film boasts an extensive cast that includes Aroshikha Dey, Anil Pandey, Atul Shukla, Ayaz, Dharmendra Tripathi, Dr. Minakshi Jalgaonkar, Govind Pathak, Gaurav Gogoi, Gulshan Kumar, Geet Gangwani, and Krishna Kedar.

In light of the CBFC’s decision, Tiwari plans to hold a private screening for select members of the media, film critics, and cinema experts to offer them a firsthand experience of the film. In the meantime, Krishna Arjun is already accessible to the public via Tiwari’s official YouTube channel.
