"I hope they change the rules not just the members. There was lot of dissatisfaction with the previous person (Nihalani). So, I feel this is the right step taken in the right direction. I hope films evolve now and stay liberal because there is no point in censoring it," she said.
A host of B-Town celebrities including filmmaker Shyam Benegal, Shoojit Sircar, Madhur Bhandarkar and Rahul Dholakia have welcomed the new CBFC chief and reckon that a filmmaker's freedom of expression will now be protected.
