| A still of Dostana More Pics |
Karan and Tarun Mansukhani were in for a rude shock when they learnt that the Censor Board had clipped some scenes of Dostana . The Board has objected to a scene in which John Abraham tells Priyanka Chopra that Abhishek Bachchan is napunsak (impotent) and Priyanka giggles. The Board also objected to a background score which sounds like an expletive What the f***. Now, after Karan muted the two things, the film has been given a U/A certificate.
When we contacted Vinayak Azad (Regional Officer, Censor Board), he confirmed and said, "We were told that the background score was What the funk, but it clearly sounded like What the f***. I couldn't have let that go."
But why mute the word napunsak? Vinayak explained, "It has been used often in the past. But our objection was about the way it has been used in Dostana. The situation was unwarranted and the word was said in a very suggestive manner."
