Ajay on intimate scene in ‘Baadshaho’: We have not made a porn film

Milan Luthria’s ‘Baadshaho’ has a very interesting star cast comprising of Ajay Devgn, Ileana D’Cruz, Emraan Hashmi, Esha Gupta, Vidyut Jammwal and Sanjay Mishra. Reportedly, the film has an intimate scene between Ajay Devgn and Ileana D’Cruz which Milan Luthria decided to trim down as he didn’t want to have an issue with CBFC, and wanted a ‘U/A’ certificate.

Talking about it, at the trailer launch of the film, Ajay Devgn said, “It’s not true. We have not made a porn film.” Milan continued, “This is complete conjecture. I don’t think anybody besides my core team is privy to what and how we edit the film. This is speculation. It’s a straightforward film.”

Well, a source in Mid-Day had earlier quoted, “The scene between Ileana and Ajay, if left as is, lasts for 10 minutes. It’s aesthetically shot and is crucial to the film’s plot. But Milan decided to shorten it, trimming the kisses and bareback shots. He didn’t want to attract the wrath of the Censors. The film is all-out commercial and he wants it to get a U/A certificate. The scene would have resulted in an A certificate. Milan doesn’t want to face controversy ahead of release.” (Also Read: Sunny Leone’s ‘Piya More’ from ‘Baadshaho’ copied?)

Few weeks ago, Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’ had released which was set against the backdrop of emergency. CBFC had asked the makers of the film to edit out many scenes and dialogues. And now, ‘Baadshaho’ is gearing up for the release which also has Emergency as the backdrop. When Milan was asked if his film would face any issue with CBFC due to the Emergency connection, he said, “Nothing has happened so far and I don’t think anything will happen also. We have seen films being made in similar genre earlier as well. That film had a political approach and ours is an action adventure.”
