Director Pooja Bhatt is one upset lady, courtesy, the Censor Board. The reason is Censor Board has given an A-certificate to the song promo of her upcoming film Jism 2 that stars Sunny Leone. And this has infuriated her to no end. That is the reason why Pooja has decided that she's going to put her foot down.
Pooja has now found an alternative option to 'showcase' her film's promos: the web. She's going to be going ahead and releasing the uncensored song on the net. She says that the promo of the film's theme song that was as a result of go on air on June 29th will now be released on the web simultaneously in its uncensored form.
She vented out her anger at the Censor Board by going hammer and tongs by tweeting "First music promo for #Jism2 was given an 'A' certificate. And this was what you can actually call a very watered down version. So the deal is this-You can't buy spots on TV for a promo with an 'A' certificate. Which basically means you can not publicize your music!" She also protested, "Absolutely REFUSE to pare my scheduled trailer right down to pander to an over cautious Censor board. Will release promo on the web instead."
Pooja quoted the instance of Delhi Belly which was cleared by the censors, "DKBose faced no censor prob bcz they didnt understand lyrics!R they claiming 2 understand J2 visuals mre than they did DBlyrics?"
Pooja, who's understandably very upset with the Censors' tackle TV promos, said that the censors wish to give clear directives in regards to the same. She said that it sort of feels like we only accept sex whether it is portrayed in a vulgar manner in order that we will be able to 'laugh' it off.
Over to you, Censors!
