KARACHI: Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt’s “Jism 2” has finally received an ‘A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
She says I am not making film for children; it is an adult film that targets mature audiences.

Bhatt said "I don’t wish it to be an elite product. I am catering to the man on the streets and women who understand “the erotica”. It is an erotic sensual thriller...”

She clarified that she never wanted children to watch it.

"We applied for an A because I am very clear that I want an A and not a U/A. I am not making film for children; it’s an adult film for adult sensibilities. The adult audience is a sizeable number and it is big enough for my film," she added.

Talking about the cuts made, she said that there were a few changes done. “The censor board asked me to decrease the length of shots at four places or replace it with another one. Three out of which are in songs and one is a scene. One of them is the song ‘Yeh Kasoor’, which is already out on the Internet.”

She added that “Censor board left the cuts to ‘director’s discretion.’ I think, by saying that they are being rather mature. I made the changes and genuinely felt it made my film more erotic. Otherwise, they did not tamper with a single dialogue or a scene. I have not tampered with sensual content at all. I promise, apart from ‘Jism 1’, ‘Jism 2’ will be the most sensual film of our times and I assure that I will deliver that promise”.

Jism 2 will release on August 3. It features Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, with Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda.
