Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt has chosen to promote “Jism 2″ songs with adult
content through internet, “a more than worthy competitor of TV”, rather
than showing them on television channels.
“We have six songs in ‘Jism 2′. Only three cater to a universal
audience without losing their essence. The other three cannot be made to
seem asexual! Hence, we will only submit to the censor board and plug
on TV those songs of ‘Jism 2′ what WE feel is appropriate for a family
audience,” Pooja tweeted.
“The three ‘Jism 2′ songs that cater to the average thinking,
discerning, passionate, ADULTS may be viewed freely and by CHOICE across
the internet,” she added.
The movie, a sequel to the 2003 film, features Indo-Canadian porn
star Sunny Leone, with Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda. It is expected
to be a steamy affair, and so it shouldn’t be a surprise if the songs
are shot in a certain way.
Pooja, daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, is glad T-Series, which
owns the film’s music rights, is in resonance with her decision.
“Delighted that @_Tseries is in absolute agreement with us with
regards to NOT releasing watered down versions of ‘Jism 2′ trailers on
TV. This is the FIRST time a mainstream film has chosen the internet and
social media as a MORE than worthy competitor to television,” she
added.
The actress-turned-director, who went behind the camera for the first
time in 2003 for “Paap”, says she is happy being different.
“So THANK YOU censor board. The supposed roadblock you provided is
actually a gateway to a brand new, sane and fair way forward for ALL!”
Pooja wrote.
“I refuse to join the schizophrenic creed of filmmakers who peddle
smut yet crave ‘respectability’. You can’t have your cake and eat it
too! And if I do not get a 11 p.m. slot on TV for ‘Jism 2′, I would
rather go the DTH way. Amputation of one’s inherent vision is for the
weak,” she added.
“Jism 2″ marks Sunny Leone’s debut in Bollywood.
