Frontal nudity by lead actor Neil Nitin Mukesh in his new film Jailmade headlines, but filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar now says he has blurred the scenes so as to make it watchable for all age groups.
“The film will shake up a lot of people and give a perspective to the common man who has never gone inside a jail. That is also the reason I wanted a U/A certificate for the film, as I want all age groups to watch the film,” Bhandarkar told IANS in an interview here.
“I have also moderated the swear words in it for the same reason and have blurred Neil’s frontal nudity so that the film becomes commonly visible,” he added.
Despite controversies surrounding the film courtesy Neil’s complete peel-off for his character, Bhandarkar’s Jail has got a universal adult certificate for the masses.
He also denies making reality-based films to win National Awards.
“Awards do give one a sense of encouragement and a feeling of achievement. But I don’t make films to win a National Award. As far as Jail is concerned, it will depend on what the jury thinks. It is too premature to talk about it,” said Bhandarkar.
“I am basically a very blessed person to have it all – critical acclaim, box office success as well as National Awards for my films. For me it’s a great moment when my films are appreciated and I just want the same for this one too,” added the director who won the honours for Chandni Bar, Page 3 and Traffic Signal. Read more…
