EXCLUSIVE: CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani reacts to the rumours of facing problems in certifying Priyanka Chopra's Baywatch
CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani rubbishes the rumours of bikini scenes creating a trouble in certifying Priyanka Chopra's Baywatch.
"I did try to go a little method in my walk and in my talk. I am happy to be here. Baywatch is great summer fun. By the way, don’t take your kids," Priyanka said at the Miami premiere of her upcoming film, Baywatch. The trailer of full of raunchy one-liners and you get to see a lot of scenes wherein the lead cast of the film is seen wearing a bikini.
The biggest question is that will Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) certify the film? As we all know, CBFC has been strict in terms of cutting down the scenes. Then came the reports that CBFC is in a dilemma over Baywatch's bikini scenes. A source was quoted by a leading daily saying, "It is a duvidha, a dharm sankat that beats all recent dilemmas. How do we grade the bikini festival in Baywatch? Guidelines clearly indicate that unnecessary nudity must be curbed. A lot of the Baywatch fans are under-age kids. In our films a big deal is made of bikini shots. Blame the producers for making the bikini look like a phenomenal happening."
To confirm these reports, we got in touch with CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani and he rubbished all the rumours calling them just speculations as they haven't yet watched the film.
Pahlaj Nihalani said, "How can we say or comment anything without watching the film. We have not watched the film yet and after watching the content, we will just give our decision to the filmmakers. We do not react before watching the film. I don't know about the reports. These are just speculations. We have cleared around 30 to 35 promos for marketing and gave them 'UA'. We can't say anything before watching it."
Baywatch is directed by Seth Gordon and is slated to release on May 25, 2017, in the US and is scheduled for a June 2, 2017, release in India.
