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.

This is coming after the censor board, asked Dibakar to tone down the scene.

The director, who is stalled in what he sees as an unnecessary controversy, said: “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.
