Sushmita Sen refuses to promote Karma Aur Holi
By Vickey Lalwani, 28 February, 2009

Apparently, Sushmita Sen has a steamy scene with her ex-boyfriend Randeep Hooda in Karma Aur Holi directed by Manish Gupta and she wants the producers to delete it. A source close to the film said, "Her problem with the scene stems from the fact that she is not involved with Hooda anymore, now she is in a relationship with Mudassar Aziz."

While Sushmita admitted to Mumbai Mirror that she was in no mood to promote Karma Aur Holi, she denied that she had asked for the steamy scene with Hooda to be deleted. She retorted, "I knew what I was doing in the film and I am not a person to make such stupid demands."

So what is her problem? Sushmita clarified, "My problem is that the makers of Karma Aur Holi are promoting the film by sending out sleazy stories. This is not done. This is just not the way to promote a film. These obnoxious strategies of promoting a film are simply unethical."

She is upset at the shoddy handling of the film, "More importantly, I did a lot for Karma Aur Holi. I went out of the way to ensure that the film gets completed. But the makers are not even ready with the film in all respects.

See the film and you will understand what I am saying. No post-production has been done. Believe it or not, the film is releasing without a lot of needed footage. I am just so angry."

While Madhu Mantena (Head of Film Division of Sa Re Ga Ma) remained unavailable for comment, Sharon Sharma (Distribution Head) countered, "We also did a lot for Sushmita. She wanted the title to be changed from Karma Confessions And Holi to Karma Aur Holi.

We ran the creative aspects of the film past her. We have made a good film. Would people like Sushmita Sen and Naomi Campbell have come on board if it wasn't a good film?"

"We have no complaints with Sushmita. But deleting a scene from Karma Aur Holi is Manish's call. We think that the steamy scene between Sushmita and Hooda is integral to the script," Sharon added.
