Chocolate produced by the Spice Entertainment team starring Anil Kapoor, Sunil Shetty, Emraan Hashmi, Arshad Warsi, Tanushree Datta and Sushama Reddy has became an immense distress for director Vivek Agnihotri.

And it's all because of a song, 'Khete hain sab badi hot hoon main, tequila ka ek shot hoon main' in Chocolate sung by Sunidhi Chauhan.

Censor Board sought him to obliterate the word "tequila" from the song when he approached them for a certificate for Chocolate.

"Yes it's true," says Vivek. The Board wanted me to delete the word as they thought it promotes alcoholism. In democratic country also there has always been a clampdown on our creative rights. Cinema has to be seen as a creative art.

I jammed to my ordnance and argued and swayed them it wasn't in the milieu of drinking- this is a take-off on the song Don't Tell Mama, from the musical Cabaret, till the Censor Board had approved not to scrub out. The word tequila is all the rage used in marriages and parties.

Vivek has now heaved a sigh of relief that the censors settled to his point of view otherwise he would have been in disarray. He would have to re-shoot the song with Tanushree dutta and make amendments and his entire schedule would have gone haywire since the film is releasing this today.
