Mahesh Bhatt compares 'Jism 2' to 'Last Tango In Paris'
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has seen the final cut of "
Jism 2" and feels
it is on a par with Italian romance drama "Last Tango In Paris",
known for explicit sexual content.
"Just showed my father the final cut of '
Jism 2'. His comment 'Jism
2' is India's answer to 'Last Tango In Paris'," tweeted "
Jism 2"
director Pooja Bhatt.
"Last Tango In Paris" featured Marlon Brando as a widower who
develops a sexual relationship with a woman without knowing anything
about her.
Though the story of "
Jism 2" is diametrically different, the movie
is expected to have a lot of steamy scenes featuring
Sunny Leone,
Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda.
Please note Shekhar Suman wants Indo-Canadian porn star
Sunny Leone as the
leading lady in his directorial venture "Heartless", which also
features his son Adhyayan.
Won't accept cuts that mutilate 'Jism 2': Pooja Bhatt
Pooja Bhatt's bold project "
Jism 2" is set to get a verdict from the
Central Board of Film Certification Wednesday and the
actress-turned-director says she won't accept any cuts that will
alter her narrative.
"Verdict on 'Jism 2' Censors tomorrow (Wednesday). No way I am going
to accept cuts that mutilate my film. But if the cuts work, shall be
gracious," tweeted Pooja Tuesday night.
Recalling the days when "Jism" underwent the censors' scanner, Pooja
wrote: "Ten years ago when we 'censored' 'Jism', they cut out two
shots that seem laughable in this day and age, but were considered
provocative then.
"I accepted the two cuts on 'Jism' 10 years ago because it did not
mar our narrative in the least and frankly, made our edit far more
aesthetic," she added.
"
Jism 2" also features Randeep Hooda and
Arunoday Singh, and
releases on 2 August 2012.
'Jism 2' for common man who understands erotica: Pooja
Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt's "
Jism 2" has been passed with an
A-certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). She
says it is an adult film that targets mature audiences.
The 40-year-old said the film doesn't target only multiplex
audiences, adding she does not make "elite films".
"I don't wish it to be an elite product. I am catering the man on
the streets and women who understand 'the erotica'. It is an erotic
sensual thriller...," she added.
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 the the 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," Pooja told IANS.
Talking about the cuts made, she says there were 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 the song 'Yeh kasoor',
which is already out on the internet," she said adding 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 tampered 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," she said.
"Jism 2", releasing Aug 3, is a sequel to the 2003 film, features
Indo-Canadian porn star
Sunny Leone, with Arunoday Singh and Randeep
Hooda.
Do you know-
Sunny Leone had asked for medical certificates of Randeep Hooda & Arunoday Singh then only she agreed to work in the film.
We are wondering why all the three actors - Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda & Arunoday Singh have not been featured together on any Jism 2 poster. Are you too wondering the same?
