Priyanka Chopra-starrer ‘Baywatch’ creates a problem for CBFC

Priyanka Chopra is all set to make her Hollywood debut with the film ‘Baywatch’. The promos of the film have already created a good pre-release buzz. But, fans of the actress in India have to worry a bit as our CBFC might just use their scissors. Reportedly, the bikini scenes in the film have put CBFC in a big dilemma.

A source from CBFC told DNA, “It is a duvidha, a dharm sankat that beats all recent dilemmas. How do we grade the bikini festival in ‘Baywatch’? Guidelines clearly indicate that unnecessary nudity must be curbed. A lot of the Baywatch fans are under-age kids. In our films a big deal is made of bikini shots. Blame the producers for making the bikini look like a phenomenal happening.”

“We can’t curb nudity when it is projected on the beach side. We would object if girls in bikinis were shown in a discotheque or in a dining room. But how do we curtail the skin exposure when the entire film is by the beach side?” added the source. (Also Read: Awww! Priyanka Chopra gets a surprise kiss from Dwayne Johnson once again)

We wonder if we will get to see girls in bikini running in slow motion or not. ‘Baywatch’ which also stars Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron is slated to hit the screens on June 2 in India.
