Dino Morea says ‘Jism 2’ promos to be toned down for television!
Wednesday, July 4th, 2012 11:28:48 by Imran Shaukat KhanThe actor-turned-director Pooja Bhatt, who has directed ‘Jism 2’, was pretty upset with the Censor Board of India because it gave an A-certificate to the song promo of her film, which features the Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone as a mainstream Bollywood actress.
The Censor Board wanted Bhatt to chop the promo for the television audiences but instead of doing so an irked Bhatt decided to launch the uncensored song promo on the internet.
However, it looks as if now the production team has agreed for the content to be toned down as compared to the bold online version.
Actor-turned-producer, Dino Morea, who is co-producing the film with Bhatt’s Fish Eye Network, while confirming the news to the media stated that ‘Jism 2’ team respects the Censor Board’s decision.
Morea stressed that the promo will be censored for the television audiences and it will be released hopefully on Tuesday.
“The TV promos will be censored. We do respect the censor board. What we can’t release on TV, we are releasing online. With TV you don’t have a choice, but when you will go to see the film, you do have a choice to buy your tickets,” Dino told IANS.
“Yes, it is an A-film. We have asked for an A-certificate. The film is in the post production stage right now. The first promo of ‘Jism 2’ will be released on TV from Tuesday, a censored version. We are planning to release our first trailer with either ‘Bol Bachchan’ or ‘Cocktail’,” he added.
In the meantime, the writer of the movie, Mahesh Bhatt, has also shared his feelings with the media.
Bhatt admitted that adult promos should be altered by the Censor Board for the television audiences.
Bhatt stated, “Whenever we release any promos on TV, we need to meet the requirement of U/A certificate by the censor board. You have to alter your promos to meet the standards set by the censor board for TV. But there is no conflict on this.”
Well, all said and done, Jism 2’s song promos received a huge response online but let’s see if the censored version gets a good response as well.
