In a bizarre move, Indian censors blurred alcohol glasses from the film ‘Ford V Ferrari.’ In the upcoming Christian Bale-Matt Damon-starrer, Ford v Ferrari, the CBFC has asked the makers to blur out pictures of alcohol bottles and glasses containing alcohol from the frame.
For instance, when a character is holding what appears to be a wine glass, the viewer only sees him holding an object, with the glass missing, effectively dampening the viewing experience.

But that doesn’t go well with director-actor Farhan Akhtar. He took to social media and lashed out at the action taken by the censor board.
He wrote in the post, “The day is not far when they’ll just have the script read out in theatres. Why the Indian adult is treated like a delinquent who can’t think for him/herself or tell right from wrong is beyond me!!”

For the uninitiated, the James Mangold-directorial, which releases in India this Friday, has already generated early Oscar buzz, especially for Matt Damon’s compelling performance.
