Priyanka Chopra’s ‘Fashion’ Gets An Adult Sign From The Censor Board
The latest film awaited by the audience, Fashion has got an adults-only certificate. When Fashion was presented to Censors for a certificate, they objected to a few scenes revolving around Priyanka-Arjan lovemaking and drug intake by Priyanka and Kangana for general viewing. They felt that these sequences should only be shown to the mature audience. This is why they gave Fashion an ‘A’ certificate. “Their reasoning is that people below 18 years should not be exposed to scenes like these, especially the ones around drug intake, ” informs Madhur Bhandarkar who just wants to move on with the promotion of the film while leaving this incident behind.
But lovemaking or drug intake is nothing new in Madhur Bhandarkar films! Corporate featured an intimate scene between Bipasha Basu and Kay Kay Menon; Page 3 had an extended rave party sequence while in Traffic Signal Ranvir Shorey played the role of a young unemployed man who died on the streets due to excessive use of drugs.
Even they felt that Fashion would lose its essence if the scenes are cut from the movie just in order to cater to a larger audience. Its ok, I love my film too much and the kind of conviction I have made it with, I won’t want to touch any frame.
For me, it is realism that matters most and by touching my scenes just for some added percentage of commercial gain, I would have only ended up defeating the entire purpose, ” signs off Madhur. Source
