Bollywood is not new for controversies or
controversial titles. Now a movie made on life of Bhanvari Devi is titled
'B..ch'. Confidently it is going to attract the ire of the censor board. Nikhil
Tonk who is the producer for the film has registered this name as the title for
the film. He is on the verge of finalizing actor for the movie. The name is
sure to create as much controversy as the life of the nurse who allegedly
blackmailed Rajasthan politicians over their sexual misbehavior.
Film makers had meetings with Kangna
Ranaut, Mallika Sherawat and Bipasha Basu for the role, though Bipasha and
Kangana's reps have denied being approached for the film. tells Tonk, "The
title is not a judgement on Bhanwari Devi's character, but merely a reflection
on how society perceived her. We've got the title registered with the
producers' association, and I don't think we'll face any trouble. We want to
start shooting next month."
Though Nikhil Tonk is claiming the tile is
cleared by Censor Board, Censor Board CEO Pankaja Thakur stresses that no title
can get clearance before the movie is submitted for certification. "Once
the film is submitted for certification, we judge the title for its
appropriateness. We recently received a film with the word "balls" in
the title. When we reviewed the movie, we found that it had nothing to do with
what we were assuming, so we cleared it. But in this case, if the title is
B**ch - and we all know it can mean nothing else - it'll probably not get
clearance. However, we'll wait for the movie to come to us.
In most cases, we look at the appropriateness
of cuss words used. Bollywood has got notorious reputation of making films
titled Kaminey Yeh Saali Zindagi Lafangey Parindey 3 Idiots Marega Saala
Rascals Ghanchakkar Gandu.
