Yana Gupta will be missing in her Murder 2 item number promos on small screen

Yana Gupta's item number, Zara kareeb se, in Murder 2 will not be shown on television as part of the movie's promos, thanks to the Censor Board's sharp scissors. Apparently, the panel found the song to be too horrific, especially for the below 18 audience.

Confirms director Mohit Suri, "Yana will not be shown in the item number for the promotions on the small screen. Her song was not only found hot to handle but too gory and suggestive, too."

According to him, the song was extremely in-your-face. "There are torture chairs, chains and leashes. It was felt that the concept itself is not suitable to be viewed by everyone. The graphics are explicit. It needed an adult certification and on television you cannot monitor the audience, " he adds.

Re-shot for TV

However, the raunchy song still remains in the movie. But, for promotion-on-television sake it was re-shot with the movie's lead pair Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandes.

Says a source, "When it was realised that the visuals cannot be aired but the song can, the makers decided to have the track picturised on the lead pair."

The boldest

Producers Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt and the director have already had their hands full with the censor folk with Murder 2, which they claim is as bold as it can get. Meanwhile, you will have to wait for the movie to see Yana zara kareeb se!

Bips was the original choice

Bipasha Basu was the original choice for the song, but as reported 'Bhatts show Bips the door' the star's exorbitant demands made the makers rope in Yana instead.
