Bhandarkar to cover up Neil to satisfy censors

Not want to take up any more chances, Madhur Bhandarkar has sought way to make his movie, ‘Jail’, come clean from the Censor board. The movie, which grabbed headlines for the protagonist’s nude scenes, has undergone changes to suit it for normal viewing. The hero Neil Nitin Mukesh plays nude in some of the scenes, which is very essential for the story and so cannot be croped.

‘Fashion’ had received an A certificate, which enraged the director, Madhur Bhandarkar, very much. Now, he doesn’t want the same fate to ‘Jail’. “Jail has worked out well and Madhur is confident about its fate at the box-office. So he doesn't want to restrict the strength of his audience. Hence, he has decided to pixilate the scene. It will appear blurred, so the censors are unlikely to object to it,” said the director’s close sources.

Besides, Madhur has extended the movie’s release. Initially, said to be released on Oct 23rd, ‘Jail’ will be out on Nov 6th, due to post-production issues – the director had blogged.

When asked about the delay the director stated, “I feel we would get some more time analyze the film and see if everything is perfect as per what we wanted it to be.” Madhur is confident that ‘Jail’ will be of a difference and is really hoping that the audience would be able to relate with it. “My film has all the elements such as emotions, humour, drama & action,” he added.

Besides Neil, ‘Jail’ includes Mugdha Godse, Manoj Bajpai, Arya Babbar and Ashish Sharma. Sharib-Toshi and Shamir Tandon has done the music. Madhur confides, “The music of the film is very diverse and will be out soon and I am sure it is going to be the bestseller of the season. It has a variety of numbers from an item song to Lata didi's prayer.”
