Nawazuddin on intimate scenes in ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’: My wife was upset with me

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s upcoming flick ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’ has quite a few intimate scenes between him and actress Bidita Bag. So of course, one would be curious to know how did Nawazuddin’s wife react to the intimate scenes between him and Bidita. Recently, in an interview with Deccan Chronicle, he was asked about the reaction of his wife to those intimate scenes. Said Nawazuddin, “You’re making me give naughty answers. But yes, my wife was upset with me and didn’t talk to me for two days.” Ohh, we do understand you Mr Siddiqui.

This reminds us that the movie has been cleared by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) with almost 7-8 voluntary cuts. Nawaz spoke about his experience with the tribunal and said, “The tribunal is a third party organisation, and it is much more liberal. The tribunal works independently and it has no connection with the CBFC, so the 1952 guidelines don’t apply to them. They are more liberal in their approach, and free from ‘babudom’. They see the film with a very neutral point of view. They are actually doing what CBFC is supposed to do at the first place. They reprimanded the CBFC for giving 58 cuts in an adult film.” (Also Read:Nawazuddin’s son Yaani’s picture dressed as Lord Krishna has left us gushing)

Director Kushan Nandy added, “Pahlaj Nihalani had written a letter at the last minute to the tribunal that they shouldn’t pass the judgment. This was totally uncalled for! However, we decided to have seven to eight voluntary cuts so that it is smooth sailing and there are not too many complications further on. These are very very minor cuts, for instance, the smoking scroll wasn’t there, and other things like that, but these cuts don’t affect the story and the film in anyway.”

So finally, the movie will have a smooth release with an ‘A’ certificate on August 25, 2017.
