'Jism 2 TV promos will be toned down'

Actor-turned-producer Dino Morea says his forthcoming "Jism 2" is an A-movie and he will launch its television promos Tuesday. The content will be a toned down as compared to the bold online version.


"The TV promos will be censored. We do respect the censor board. What we can't release on TV, we are releasing online. With TV you don't have a choice, but when you will go to see the film, you do have a choice to buy your tickets, " Dino, who is co-producing the film with Pooja Bhatt's Fish Eye Network, told.

"Yes, it is an A-film. We have asked for an A-certificate. The film is in the post production stage right now. The first promo of 'Jism 2' will be released on TV from tomorrow (Tuesday), a censored version. We are planning to release our first trailer with either 'Bol Bachchan' or 'Cocktail', " he added.

Directed by Pooja Bhatt, "Jism 2", a sequel to 2003 release "Jism", has Randeep Hood, Arunoday Singh and Sunny Leone in the cast and it is expected to scorch the screens with its steamy content when it hits screens Aug 3. 

The first time producer Dino claims the response to online promos has been phenomenal. 

"We released our first promo online on Friday and second promo just today (Monday) afternoon. We crossed million hits in 36 hours. The reviews are phenomenal so far."


Always keen to try his hands in production, Dino approached Pooja, who directed him in "Holiday". 


"Pooja and I share a very good relationship...I always wanted to get into production. So I asked Pooja if I could co-produce 'Jism 2' with her. She happily agreed and that is how it happened, " the 37-year-old said.

Mahesh Bhatt, writer of "Jism 2", feels the censored version for TV was necessary to meet the standards set by the censor board. 

"Whenever we release any promos on TV, we need to meet the requirement of U/A certificate by the censor board. You have to alter your promos to meet the standards set by the censor board for TV. But there is no conflict on this." 

"So, basically the uncensored version will go online and a toned down, censored or acceptable version for all age (group) will go on TV. This is our double barrel market planning, " he added.

You can see Jism 2 songs with adult content only on the internet

Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt has chosen to promote "Jism 2" songs with adult content through internet, "a more than worthy competitor of TV", rather than showing them on television channels.


"We have six songs in 'Jism 2'. Only three cater to a universal audience without losing their essence. The other three cannot be made to seem asexual! Hence, we will only submit to the censor board and plug on TV those songs of 'Jism 2' what WE feel is appropriate for a family audience," Pooja tweeted.

"The three 'Jism 2' songs that cater to the average thinking, discerning, passionate, ADULTS may be viewed freely and by CHOICE across the internet," she added.

The movie, a sequel to the 2003 film, features Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, with Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda. It is expected to be a steamy affair, and so it shouldn't be a surprise if the songs are shot in a certain way. 

Pooja, daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, is glad T-Series, which owns the film's music rights, is in resonance with her decision. 

"Delighted that @_Tseries is in absolute agreement with us with regards to NOT releasing watered down versions of 'Jism 2' trailers on TV. This is the FIRST time a mainstream film has chosen the internet and social media as a MORE than worthy competitor to television," she added.


The actress-turned-director, who went behind the camera for the first time in 2003 for "Paap", says she is happy being different. 


"So THANK YOU censor board. The supposed roadblock you provided is actually a gateway to a brand new, sane and fair way forward for ALL!" Pooja wrote. 

"I refuse to join the schizophrenic creed of filmmakers who peddle smut yet crave 'respectability'. You can't have your cake and eat it too! And if I do not get a 11 p.m. slot on TV for 'Jism 2', I would rather go the DTH way. Amputation of one's inherent vision is for the weak," she added.

"Jism 2" marks Sunny Leone's debut in Bollywood
