Designer Felix told missmalini.com, “I did this shoot with photographer Kenny Zaveri from Mumbai in 2008, which I only used two years later (as a promo poster) for my fashion show in Goa in December 2010. The gathering was entitled ‘skin’. Kenny came up with this idea after which we proceeded with our stlying and shows in 2010. Because my collection, was a in accordance with racisim and feminine foeticide, we thought this image was perfect for the concept that. Thankfully its on record with the goa press.”
NO SUNNY LEONE IN JISM 2 FIRST POSTER
Yes, you read it right. The mystery girl within the first poster of Jism 2 isn't Sunny Leone. If truth be told it is the Dan Dan girl Nathalia Kaur, who has graced the poster.
Pooja Bhatt told a daily, "A year ago, when it was being speculated that the film will feature either Bipasha Basu or Mallika Sherawat, I DETERMINED to whet people's appetite with a horny poster. I called my friend, photographer Joy Datta, who deals with dusky Brazilian models, for options. I chose Nathalia from amongst those he showed me."
Now we all know why Ram Gopal Varma said that Nathalia is Pooja's discovery!
PROTEST AGAINST SUNNY LEONE
Activists of Bhagwan Valmiki Shakti Sena shouted slogans against the film Jism 2, as they burnt effigies of actress Sunny Leone and director Pooja Bhatt during an illustration in Amritsar.
The demonstrators reportedly protested against vulgarity shown within the Bollywood film.
PIL AGAINST SUNNY LEONE
A PIL have been slammed against Sunny Leone within the Allahabad High Court. The PIL was filed by Rakesh Nayayik, a resident of Varanasi. It seeks a stay at the release of the film, and has challenged the provisions of the law which define the powers of the Censor Board in India.
It objects to the presence of the Canadian adult film actress Sunny Leone within the film. Advocate SMA Kazmi, the legal counsel who's handling the case, said, “We have sought a stay order at the release of Jism 2 due to the sexually explicit content of the movie, and the inclusion of Sunny Leone within the film, for the adverse moral impact that her presence would have on society.”
JISM 2 SONG COPIED
Pooja Bhatt's film Jism 2 was within the news for all of the wrong reasons -- one among them being the tittle track Yeh Jism, that's said to be copy of a Turkish song. Debutant music composer Arko Pravo Mukherjee denies that and says these are only rumours.
"I don't care about these rumours. There may be some similarity at first of 3 more songs but this stuff happen. It was not a conscious decision to replicate. This song is completely different," Mukherjee told IANS .
A doctor by profession, Mukherjee left Kolkata four years ago and came to Mumbai with a dream of creating music for Bollywood and feels fortunate to start out his career with Jism 2.
It is essential to get the 'right break' within the industry, says Mukherjee.
"It often happens that you just make songs for a movie but because of some reasons, the movie doesn't get made. It happened to me thrice. That is quite common. I'M lucky that i'm making my debut with Jism 2," he added.
