His expletive-ridden adult comedy 'Delhi Belly' may have faced trouble in Pakistan and Nepal



Earlier in the day, Varma tweeted, "Just lodged a complaint with the Versova police against the BJP Yuva Morcha''s threat to me on the Maria Susairaj issue. Other organisations'' warnings I got to hear from the media but the BJP sent a signed warning letter directly to my office." Justifying his resolve, he tweeted, "If someone has been convicted and the person served a given sentence she has a right to start her life afresh and that''s a part of civilised society. Maria is not my sister or my girl friend and I don''t even know her...so it''s not about supporting her but it''s about standing for my beliefs." Yesterday, the cine-wings of Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) also warned of action if anyone casts Susairaj in a film or television show. Last week, former Navy officer Emile Jerome and his girlfriend Susairaj were awarded rigorous imprisonment of 10 years and three years respectively by a Mumbai court in the sensational murder of TV executive Neeraj Grover. Susairaj walked out of jail after serving more than three years as undertrial in the case.

Aamir Khan says “It's a sensitive comedy. It's irreverently funny for adults' appetite




Not everybody is happy with his expletive-ridden adult comedy 'Delhi Belly' but actor-producer Aamir Khan says despite having cuss words, the film has a sensitive outlook.

“It's a sensitive comedy. It's irreverently funny for adults' appetite. This film is not for people who don't like cuss words. It has a sense of humour which need not be taken

seriously; it is for those who are young at heart,” Aamir said.

'Delhi Belly', releasing on July 1, is about three young men living together in a bachelor pad in Delhi. When asked why he chose such a subject after making socially relevant films like 'Lagaan' and 'Peepli Live', the 45-year-old actor said, “I have great respect for the sentiments of people. My earlier films were entertainers watchable by the family but only this film's language is different. But certainly Delhi Belly has no overt sex, it's language is more cuss-like,” Aamir explained.
The song 'Bhaag DK Bose' from 'Delhi Belly' has received flak, but Aamir said, “I find nothing controversial in Bhaag DK Bose. It has been liked by many people. The songs are for youngsters and they are okay with it.”

Aamir was here alongwith wife Kiran Rao to be a guest on the Bengali version of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' hosted by cricketing icon Sourav Ganguly.

To a question about directing a Bengali film, since she hails from Kolkata, Kiran said there was little possibility of her making a film in Bangla but she would certainly make Kolkata the background of her future project.
