Click to play videoMumbai: Filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee is having a tough time getting a title for his new film.
He wants to register Love, Sex aur Dokha as the title for his next film but it seems 'sex' is still considered as an obscene word in Bollywood’s dictionary.
“We were told that Love Sex aur Dhoka is obscene or there are certain obscene issues in it and it has to be looked into and that is what we found little surprising because we didn’t know that there was another body outside the censor board which can deny you or grant you title on the basis of obscenity,” says Banerjee.
The man, who is behind movies like Khosla Ka Ghosla, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, says that his next movie is inspired by the growing obsession with reality shows and voyeurism.
The cast is all new and he starts shooting next month.
But since his title has been rejected, the filmmaker has appealed to the Title Registeration Committee for reconsideration, but they don’t seem to be in a mood to relent.
“Committee approves a title on the basis of the affect the title would have on the society,” says Title Registration Committee convenor Vikas Mohan.
However, Banerjee is still waiting for a positive response from the committee.
