Soon-to-be-out psychological thriller 'Phobia' has escaped the censor board with zero cuts. Featuring Radhika Apte of 'Hunterrr' fame, the movie is based on an agoraphobic. “I was really worried about how the censors will react because it is thematically an adult film. So I was really worried that they might say cut the movie or do this, do that. When they saw the movie, they called me in and said that the movie was really engaging, really intense and they felt they can't cut one single thing from the movie,” said director Pavan Kripalani. “We have tried something really different, we're doing a psychological thriller in the industry after a very long time. I feel that it is more than just a horror film, it's not a scary movie, it has moments of scare, but largely it's a thriller.” The censor board has rained hard on films recently, altering films including Prakash Jha's 'Jai Gangaajal'.
