Kaminey gets A certificate

Kaminey has been given ‘A’ certificate by the Censor Board, and Vishal Bhardwaj is understandably unhappy. Though the film is less than a fortnight away, Censors have advised Vishal that if he wants a U/A certificate for the film, he would have to cut a few scenes and make certain changes.

Says a source close to Vishal, “He is really upset about the trouble that he has got into because of the attitude of Censor board folks. They have been arguing that the film is violent par film mein violence toh hai hi nahi. There aren’t any gory scenes or the kind that would make you look the other way. It’s all ‘implied violence’ where you get a feel that something wrong has happened or would happen. But then nothing untoward actually happens onscreen.”

Next few days are extremely important for the film since post Love Aaj Kal euphoria (which incidentally stars Shahid Kapoor’s ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor’s current boyfriend Saif Ali Khan), Kaminey is the next BIG film of the season. No wonder, the makers of Kaminey and the film’s cast and crew have to work extra hard and go the whole hog to make it as the only film visible to audiences once it hits the screens on 14th August.

“Yes, this is an important movie for everyone, whether it is Shahid, Priyanka Chopra or Vishal. It’s a unique competition and there is so much of widespread curiosity around the film. The last thing that each of them would want is worry about whether the film would be allowed for youngsters or not. Shahid especially is so popular amongst the younger generation and it would be a huge loss for him as well as his fans if the film gets an adults certificate,” the source adds.

So what’s the team of Kaminey planning to do now?

“We should get to know about it in a couple of days or so,” he says, “Right now they are just assessing the situation. However, one thing one fails to understand is the entire double standard game. On one side a hardcore action movie like Ghajini, which has so much visible violence, is allowed for all age groups. On the other hand Kaminey, which is much lighter when it comes to violence, is meted such treatment. It’s unfair. The film in fact doesn’t even hav

Shahid Kapoor-Ages from 28 to 22

Don’t get confused as we are talking of Shahid’s upcoming flick with Yash Raj Films, where he is supposed to look much younger than his age. For this, the handsome lad has worked equally hard and has gained the perfect look that was demanded of him.

In Kaminey he has build a well-toned body and dons a macho man look. On the other hand, in his next flick with Yash Raj and Anushka Sharma, the actor has slimmed down and is looking very young.

“I work according to my scripts and the character that I am portraying. In Kaminey I needed a good physique for which I have worked for almost a year and sacrifice on my liking of food. Where as, in my next film with Anushka, I need to look much younger so I have done sacrifices over there too,” rues the young lad.

Elaborating on adapting himself according to the script, the actor chirps, “You can find good directors, producers and actors but not a good script. And if my script demands me to change, then I would do so gladly.”

“For this new look I had to cut down on my muscular body and get a thin shape, which I have attained. I also liked my look for this film and am ready to take all kinds of challenge. Even if my next venture demands me to go out of the way for physical or mental challenge I would go ahead with it,” he concludes.

Well definitely we can say for Shahid ki success ke liye kuch bhi karega.
