Friday, 11th April 2014, 05:30 PM IST The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has apparently asked the makers of Himesh Reshammiya-starrer film ‘The Xpose’ to blur out a certain bikini shot of Zoya Afroz that has a lot of skin show.
In one of the scenes of the film, Zoya who plays a character inspired by Parveen Babi, wears a bikini as she is shooting for a film in the film. It seems that the CBFC has objected to the shot citing that it has a lot of skin show. They have asked the filmmakers to blur out her cleavage in the scene.
An official of CBFC said, “We have asked them to blur it out as too much skin was being shown. In another scene, a brand name was really prominent, so we have told the makers to blur that too.” While the film’s creative producer Rakesh Upadhyay feels that too much skin show is a subject matter.
He said, “It is difficult to justify such a scene in a three-minute promo. It also depends on who in the censor board committee is certifying the promo. What works for me may not work for others.As far as the brand name of the alcohol bottle is concerned, making it conspicuous was a mistake on our part and we have rectified it by agreeing to blur it.” ‘The Xpose’ also stars Yo Yo Honey Singh, Irrfan Khan, and Sonali Raut and is slated to release on May 23. |
