Mumbai:
After The Dirty Picture got pulledaway from being aired on television due to its bold content,the makers of Jannat 2 have played safe and made certainchanges in their upcoming film for the small screen audience.
The Emraan Hashmi starrer, directed by Kunal Deshmukh,is a sequel to the 2008-hit film Jannat. The second instalmentis up for release on May 4. Jannat was based on betting incricket and the sequel is about illegal trading in arms andammunition.
"While shooting for the film, we knew we would get 'A'certificate for Jannat 2. So we knew Censor Board does notallow particular kind of language and doesn't allow suggestivechecks, love making and kissing. So we had to shoot alternatetakes and situations for those portions of the film," directorKunal Deshmukh said.
"I have been informed as a filmmaker about the guidelinesof the Ministry of Broadcast and we have shot alternateangles and takes for particular scenes and songs. The intimacystays but there is no lip lock or there is nothing that thecensor board would object to. We have also done special dubfor satellite where there is a clean version without any badwords," he said.
Kunal feels the Censor Board has fairly evolved with timeand that they have genuine reasons for objecting certaincontent on TV.
"When your film comes on TV during prime time, and onceit is out there you don't know who could be watching the filmat that time. There may be a five-year-old or a ten-year-oldkid and I wouldn't want that kid to be watching the film withobscene language. So I am doing my bit," Kunal said.
"I think the censor board is fairly evolved...they arechanging with time. So if they have put certain rules andregulations they have kept the lowest common denominator inmind and done that. It is good that certain cuts are suggestedfor films that go on to TV. And I think filmmakers should belittle sensitive to the Censor Board," he said.
In Jannat 2 Emraan plays the role of an arms dealercalled Sonu Dili KKC and model Esha Gupta is making her debutin Bollywood.
Talking about the film, Kunal says, "The film is aboutSonu Dilli KKC. And from the flavour it is about a cunningstreet brat who gets his way by selling guns and conningpeople. He is willing to do anything for the girl. It is notaction...bloodbath kind of a film."
