Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt has chosen to advertise Jism 2 songs with adult content through internet, "a greater than worthy competitor of TV", as opposed to showing them on television channels. "WE'VE GOT six songs in Jism 2. Only three cater to a universal audience without losing their essence. The opposite three can't be made to look asexual! Hence, we can only undergo the censor board and plug on TV those songs of Jism 2 what WE feel is acceptable for a family audience," Pooja tweeted.
"The three Jism 2 songs that cater to the common thinking, discerning, passionate, ADULTS could also be viewed freely and by CHOICE around the internet," she added.
The movie, a sequel to the 2003 film, features Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, with Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda. It's expected to be a steamy affair, and so it should not be a surprise if the songs are shot in a definite way.
Pooja, daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, is glad T-Series, which owns the film's music rights, is in resonance along with her decision.
"Delighted that @ Tseries is in absolute agreement with us in the case of NOT releasing watered down versions of Jism 2 trailers on TV. That is the primary time a mainstream film has chosen the web and social media as a GREATER THAN worthy competitor to television," she added.
The actress-turned-director, who went behind the camera for the primary time in 2003 for Paap, says she is worked up being different.
"So THANKS censor board. The supposed roadblock you provided is definitely a gateway to a brand new, sane and fair future of ALL!" Pooja wrote.
"I refuse to enroll in the schizophrenic creed of filmmakers who peddle smut yet crave 'respectability'. You can not have your cake and eat it too! And if I DON'T get a 11 p.m. slot on TV for Jism 2, I'D rather go the DTH way. Amputation of one's inherent vision is for the weak," she added.
Jism 2 marks Sunny Leone's debut in Bollywood.
