Bollywood always bears the brunt when it comes to sensitivity in terms of the language or content portrayed before the audience. From what we get to learn, pedophilia is a subject which not many want to touch upon even today.
As per reports in a leading daily, Wazirdirector Bejoy Nambiar learnt about this observation when he tried to include a pedophile character in his film. A source says, "The makers approached a few actors, including Pankaj Kapur, but none of them agreed to play the role."
Actor Aamir Bashir was approached for the role but when the deal didn't come through, the makers decided to scrap out the part from the film.
However, Nambiar has denied the rumours about initially including a character of a child molester in the film. But sources close to the project say that when the plan didn't work out, the makers decided not to disclose their original idea.
Wazir stars Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar and Aditi Rao Hydari and is slated to release in September this year.
