Producer Pahlaj Nihalani says actress Kangana Ranaut has forgotten how much he helped her when she was in trouble.
Lamenting the lack of theatres for "Rangeela Raja", Nihalani says he was refused a release in places like Bihar and Jharkhand.
The CBFC has raised objections over some of the sexist and vulgar content in the film.
"Rangeela Raja" is a comedy film, written and produced by Nihalani, and directed by Sikander Bharti.
Actor Govinda says the environment in the film industry is not good.
He had also stated that the CBFC did not follow the set guidelines for reviewing a film within 21 days of the makers approaching the board.
He said the petition shall be heard once the court reopens on November 19.
Bollywood actor Govinda, who along with producer Pahlaj Nihalani is facing difficulties to release their upcoming film "Rangeela Raja" after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) refused to certify the film and ordered 20 cuts, says there is a group of people from the film fraternity conspiring against him.
The former CBFC chairman will now mention his plea before the court again on November 12.
Known for being at the receiving end of filmmakers for ordering cuts in the movies, former CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani has filed plea against the Censor Board for ordering 20 cuts in his film Rangeela Raja, reports ANI.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), chaired by Prasoon Joshi, has suggested new initiatives such as to invite the heads and members of Hindi and regional film associations, and a communication campaign for educating audience segments about the various categories that film content is certified under.
The actor will be seen playing a double role in the comedy drama.
Former Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) chief Pahlaj Nihani on Tuesday revealed that he has made a film on liquor baron Vijay Mallya's life and Govinda will essay his character in the film.
The CBFC on Friday gave a U/A certificate to historical drama Padmavati but with suggested modifications which include changing the name of the movie to 'Padmavat'.
Former censor board chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani says the film industry needs to be united in its fight to avoid becoming a victim of politics.
Former CBFC Chairperson and producer Pahlaj Nihalani is shocked by a Parliamentary Committee's decision to question director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on "Padmavati" before the censor board can view the film. He claimed the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had also "bullied" him during his tenure.
Three video clips of south siren Raai Laxmi's passionate lovemaking, liplock scenes from the movie are doing rounds in the social media platforms.
