| Himesh's second brush with the censors. By MM, 31 August, 2008 |
 Himesh Reshammyia's number 'Hari om hari from Karzzzz had to be re-edited at the behest of the Censor Board. The song had skimpily clad girls dancing in the background. Our source says, "Censor Board had strong objection to the scenes where the girls were dancing behind Himesh in the 'Hari om' number.However, they were pretty cool about the dancers in the rest of the song. T-Series and Himesh had no option but to edit the portion. In fact in the promos right now, when he says 'Hari om' the song has been edited in a way that only Himesh can be seen in the frame. In some parts, it has been done in such a manner that you see four versions of Himesh singing 'Hari om'. This was done to avoid the girls behind him." When contacted, Himesh confirmed that they had to edit those portions. He said, "I'm not at all upset about the changes in the song, it was a minor change. Bhushanji and I absolutely abide by the Censor Board's rule. We opened the promos only after the Censor Board passed it." The source further adds, "This is not Himesh's first brush with the censors. He had problems during his first film too when he had to chop 'Ya ali' words from his song which was picturised on Mallika and him in Aap Ka Surroor." |
