Puritanism in the arts just acquired a new
definition with Deepika Padukone being
asked to cover up in the Ghoomar' song in
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati now
entitled Padmaavat. Apparently the shots of
Deepika's tummy peeping out of her
elaborate ghagra-choli during
the Ghoomar' dance number were found to
be "unbecoming for the character the
Royal Queen that the actress plays in
Padmaavat.
"The CBFC's Examining Committee asked the
film's producers the director was not
present during the censor screening to
remove the shots where her stomach was
visible. However such editing would have
disturbed the smooth choreographic flow
of the elegant dance number. The director
preferred to conceal Deepika's belly through
computer graphics, says a source present
at the screening.
The film has been re-submitted to the CBFC
with the modifications asked for. But it is
yet to get its censor certificate. Giving
details on the CBFC's viewing of
Padmaavat, a source says, "The screening
and the discussion post the screening went
on from 5 pm till almost 2 am. CBFC
chairperson Prasoon Joshi was present. The
historians and royal representatives raised
many objections. But the board members of
the CBFC found nothing objectionable in the
content. They recommended a U/A' with
minor modifications.
The Padmaavat producers have made the
recommended modifications and re-
submitted the film to the CBFC. But the
censor certificate is yet to be given to the
producers. Given the volatile and menacing
scenario it is unlikely that that the film will
actually release on January 25.
