Jism 2 : CBFC wants more cuts

The Censor Board Of Film Certification seems to be keeping tabs with Pooja Bhatt. Pooja Bhatt who was expecting an A certificate for her movie Jism 2 is finding it too difficult to get a green signal even with A-certificate. As per the latest news from insiders, it is said that censor board is finding the love making scenes too much obscene and wants Pooja to cut those out!

Jism 2, which is mainly tagged around sensuality is having more issues than what was expected. Even though they were aware that the movie would end up with an A certificate, the recent stance of CBFC has caused dilemma as they want most of the love-making scenes to be cut out almost to half!

A senior member from CBFC (on request of anonymity) told Mumbai Mirror, “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.”

Asked what exactly the CBFC objected to, the senior member said, “There are four lovemaking scenes in Jism 2, all with Sunny Leone in them. The problem is not the number of such scenes, but their length. All four scenes are too long and will have to be cut so that their impact is diluted. There is no frontal nudity but kaafi explicit hai. Hence, we did not issue a certificate. We will certify the film only when Pooja returns with the modified version, which should have the intimate scenes cut to half their length.”

The Regional Officer at CBFC, J P Singh, confirmed the development saying, “We have asked Pooja to dilute the lovemaking scenes. There are certain norms and guidelines, which every filmmaker has to follow.”

Needless to say, Pooja isn’t amused. Mirror spoke to her on her way back from the CBFC office. For starters, she was in denial about having been asked to cut the length of the controversial scenes in Jism 2. “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,” said the firebrand director.

Now is Pooja disappointed ? “No. They objected to certain shots in Jism nine years ago but if you look at them today, they are child’s play. So let’s see what happens when I take my copy back to them,” she shot back.

So we will still wait on to see what she does with the shots and hope she finds out a way to display her movie in full format at-least!
