Sunny Leone’s ‘Jism 2’ runs into trouble with CBFC

FAZAL-UR-REHMAN

KARACHI: The release of Sunny Leone’s much-awaited Bollywood flick “Jism 2” directed by Pooja Bhatt, is now in big trouble. The lengthy lovemaking scenes in the film haven’t gone well with the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and hence the Board has refused to certify the flick.

The film has four long love making scenes that are very explicit. The board has demanded that makers of Jism 2 to dilute all intimate, lovemaking scenes in the film by at least 50 per cent.

In fact, according to media sources, members of the board said “Pooja Bhatt was sent home. We refused to certify her film. Jism 2 will obviously get an A certificate at a later stage but only when she incorporates the changes which we have asked for.”

Reacting to this, Bhatt seems pretty cool about it as she faced a similar situation 9 years back for Jism.

“I sat down and thought about what they had said. They have a problem with certain shots, like the one where Sunny turns around and a part of her breast is visible. If I really had a problem, I would have headed straight to the Revising Committee. I don’t, so I will introduce close-ups wherever wide angles have been used in the scenes in question. It’s okay. It will not amputate my film,” Bhatt said.

The film was also in news earlier over the songs for TV viewing.

Bhatt had launched 3 songs from the film with explicit content on the internet. She looked quite determined not to bend to the censor board’s demand. But now she seems to have a different take.
