“The TV promos could be censored. We do respect the censor board. What we can’t release on TV, we're releasing online. With TV you don’t have a choice, but if you are going to visit see the film, you do have a decision to shop for your tickets,” Dino, who's co-producing the film with Pooja Bhatt’s Fish Eye Network, told IANS.
“Yes, it's an A-film. We have now asked for an A-certificate. The film is within the post production stage at the moment. The primary promo of ‘Jism 2′ could be released on TV from tomorrow (Tuesday), a censored version. We're planning to release our first trailer with either ‘Bol Bachchan’ or ‘Cocktail’,” he added.
Directed by Pooja Bhatt, “Jism 2″, a sequel to 2003 release “Jism”, has Randeep Hood, Arunoday Singh and Sunny Leone within the cast and it's expected to scorch the screens with its steamy content when it hits screens Aug 3.
The first time producer Dino claims the response to online promos have been phenomenal.
“We released our first promo online on Friday and second promo this day (Monday) afternoon. We crossed million hits in 36 hours. The reviews are phenomenal so far.”
Always keen to check out his hands in production, Dino approached Pooja, who directed him in “Holiday”.
“Pooja and that i share an excellent relationship…I always desired to get into production. So I asked Pooja if I'LL co-produce ‘Jism 2′ along with her. She happily agreed and that's the way it happened,” the 37-year-old said.
Mahesh Bhatt, writer of “Jism 2″, feels the censored version for TV was essential to meet the criteria set by the censor board.
“Whenever we release any promos on TV, we have to meet the requirement of U/A certificate by the censor board. You need to alter your promos to satisfy the factors set by the censor board for TV. But there is not any conflict on this.”
“So, basically the uncensored version will go surfing and a toned down, censored or acceptable version for all age (group) will go on TV. That is our double barrel market planning,” he added. – IANS
