Emraan watched Adult Movies, but Shanghai comes clean - U/A certificate

Shanghai is one of the most anticipated movies to be released in June 15, the movie had been said to have many controversial scenes and the makers were trying hard to get a U/A certificate, as it was very close to be tagged with A certificate. The film has been cleared with a U/A certificate from the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However, though the CBFC has accorded the film a U/A certification, one major cut has been suggested to the makers. The cut in question is a scene where a local politician is being abused. 

Earlier this week, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) had been filed in the Delhi High Court by Tejinder Bagga of Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena against the song 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' asking for an interim stay on the release of the film till the song is deleted. He felt that the song projects India in very poor light. However, the song has been cleared by the Revising Committee when submitted to the board members earlier.

Emraan Watched lot of Adult Movies for the character!

Emraan Harshmi who plays the dark character in the movie and that of a porn director, says he had to watch a lot of adult movies to get to the groove. Earlier on a candid interview he said "I watched a lot of porn,” said the actor cheekily. "Dibakar told me that my role will be that of a small time journalist, who even shoots small porn films to earn a living. He told me, `Yeh sab jo role play kiya hai tumne apni har movie mein camera ke samne, ab camera ke peeche yeh sab shoot karna hai.` He actually made me graduate with this character. Also in this movie, he has made me run after the girl. Har picture mein ladkiyan mere peeche bhaagti hain, lekin iss film mein main Kalki ke peeche bhaag raha hoon."

Emraan plays the role of a local journalist Jogi Parmer, and his looks for the movie has been made very close to 'ugly' and he sportily says "Yahan jitne log baithe hai, sab bhaag jaate, had I come in my Jogi Parmar get-up," laughed Emraan.

He also expressed his happiness in getting a U/A certificate for the movie "I actually wanted to do a saaf-suthra film as many would call it, for my son, who is just two years old. I`d want my son to see at least one film of mine before he turns 18, which he can`t right now. So I`m happy to have signed a U film," said Emraan.

The movie will also find Abhay Deol in a serious character and he now plays a South Indian IPS officer, and he is also expected to mouth Tamil dialogues, hope he does a good job there.

We will have to wait one more week to see how much clean it is ;-) What do you think?
