According to reports, the censor board’s website has made it clear that the board would require 68 days in total to certify a film and that filmmakers must prepare for this in advance.

Reports suggest that a proper chalked out procedure that can have no alternation is into force and the status of the film can be known if the makers log into their account using their ID and password.
