Forthcoming movie, Murder 2 is set to release 8th July, however the movie is already facing problems in West Bengal.
Although the television promos have released featuring Emraan Hashmi
and Jacqueline Fernandez in the main leads, the film's posters are
causing concern.
The West Bengal Board of Censorship has asked for Jacqueline
Fernandez's cleavage to be covered and Emraan Hashmi has to get his
chest painted if their posters have to be exhibited in Bengal.
?Distributor of the movie, Pritam Jalan tells us more, 'I had submitted
11 designs to the Board for approval. Only two very tame posters of the
movie have got the nod. While some of them have been outright rejected,
I have been asked to paint Emraan's chest in one design where he is
standing in front of Jacqueline. I had not submitted any bikini photos
or frontal exposure of my cast. My designs are not obscene but are
sensual and artistic. In all the designs, the girl is wearing a regular
outfit, such as short skirts, and this is usually worn nowadays by girls
in colleges too.'?
However, what's left the producers confused is the fact the movie can be viewed in Bengal but not the posters.
To which the West Bengal Board of Censorship argued saying, 'We have disapproved three posters and amendments have been suggested for the rest. It is up to the West Bengal government to decide whether they should reconsider the relevance of this Act in today's day and age. We are only carrying out our responsibility and following the Act.'
Do you agree with the West Bengal Board of Censorship or are they being too harsh?
