Producer Mahesh Bhatt was told by Censor Board that if he wanted a U/A certificate for his film Crook (releasing on 8th Oct), he would have to edit out a scene with a topless firang actress Shella Alan in it.

Alternatively, he could keep the scene and have his film get an 'A' certificate. Mahesh choose 'A'.

Though the director of the film, Mohit Suri, tried to convince him otherwise, Bhatt insisted that the film be released as 'Adults Only'.

According to a source, "In the film, Emraan Hashmi gets drunk and passes out in Shella's car. He wakes up in her bed, and when he comes out from the washroom he sees her changing her clothes, with her back to him."

Mahesh also questioned the Censor Board's decision to allow frontal nudity in films like Ram Teri Ganga Maili, whereas his film shows side nudity only. The Censor members found this argument bordering on blasphemy and completely disagreed with it.
