The controversial scene showing a bare-backed woman on top of a man in director Dibakar Banerjee`s much talked-about film `Love Sex Aur Dokha` will be blurred on screen.
The censor board Monday asked Dibakar to tone down the scene.
The director, who is mired in what he sees as an unnecessary controversy, says: `We had submitted a DVD of the film to the censor board so they`d recommend cuts in advance and avoid delays. The censor preview recommendation suggests that we blur the sex scene.`
`We were told this scene was too graphic and needed tempering. There`s no way the censors could allow the love-making scene. We`ve clearly been told that even before the film is submitted for censoring.`
When asked how bare-backed love-making scenes were allowed by censors in other films, the director chose to smile.
`I`ve been in principle against the film being perceived as a voyeur`s delight. `Love Sex Aur Dokha` is not about sex, sex and sex. Those who expect that will return disappointed,` he said.
However, a cut with reference to caste in the love story between a low-caste boy and a high-caste girl by the censor board has left Dibakar unhappy.
`This completely changes the perspective of my story as now the caste-challenged love story is turned into a poor-boy-rich-girl romance. This is not what I intended,` the director said.
Also, the song `Tu nangi achi lagti hai` modified on the audio CD to `Tu gandi achi lagti hai` has been changed in the film.
`But no complaints. Considering the controversial content my film got away easily with little cuts and an `Adults` certificate,` Dibakar said.
