Censors won’t chop sunny’s song

Many years ago, Madhuri Dixit’s bosom-pal act with Neena Gupta for the song Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai in Khalnayak, created a nationwide furore, thanks to its suggestive overtones.

Now, it’s time to walk down the memory lane again — this time with Sunny Leone, in Dongri Ka Raja. Insiders say the producers have paid Rs 40 lakhs for the item song, Choli Blockbuster. Understandably, the producers were unwilling to cut even a single shot of the dance number for the Central Board of Film Certification.

Says a source close to the development, “The producers were very clear on this issue. They requested the CBFC to not cut anything from Sunny Leone’s item song, as they said it was the highlight of their film. The board let the song remain uncut, instead granting the film an ‘A’ certificate, which the producers accepted happily.”
