Khamosh is too hot to handle for Censors

Deepak Tijori’s film Khamosh is stuck at the censor board because of some hot scenes featuring sensuous Rakhi Sawant and newcomer Kainaaz Pervees.

Khamosh is a thriller set in a single night in which several people are forced to take shelter in a motel due to bad weather. The film has Shilpa Shetty playing a prostitute, Rakhi Sawant playing a sexy starlet and Kainaaz Pervees a young bride on her way to honeymoon with her hubby.

The Censor Board has reportedly objected to some sexually explicit scenes in the film. These include a bathing scene featuring Rakhi and a suhaag raat scene featuring Kainaaz and co-star Rajiv Singh.

Director Deepak Tijori , who previously made a film on male strippers, maintains that the cuts demanded by the censor board were unwarranted as the characters in the lovemaking scene were completely covered and the bathing scene showed a partially clad Rakhi.

“They asked me to totally cut this off and the other sexual content in the film, though these portions form part of the narrative,” Tijori is quoted by IANS as saying.

Tijori has reportedly written to the censor board chief Sharmila Tagore complaining about the “mental torture” he went through over getting his film cleared. Ms. Tagore is looking into his complaint.
