Double Dhamaal Faced Censor Board Issues For Mocking Barbara Mori


Remember my post earlier on Ashish Chaudhary that he worked hard to portray the role of a sexy woman by using silicone implants and prosthetics in Indra Kumar's Double Dhamaal? Well, now the recent update on that is the Censor Board's criticism on the whole scene.

Ashish calls himself - "Barbara Hori" as he wears drags for the entire scene. It was quite obvious looking from his Spanish accent and the name that they was mocking Barbara Mori (the lead actress in Kites).
Apparently, the Censor Board has announced that the word "Hori" is quite offensive. The sources say that this was pretty much expected from the Censor Board because Indra made a huge mistake by using such an offensive name.

The Censor Board CEO, Pankaja Thakur clearly explained there is no question of U or A certificate here because it is not a sexual comedy where a filmmaker wants to retain the name for some reason. "Barbara Hori" can just not go on screen because it is talking about a woman's dignity rather than a Bollywood or a Hollywood heroine although it is quite evident who the actor was referring to with his Spanish dialect.

As a result, Ashish and a few other actors had to redub all the dialogues and change name to "Barbara Gori".

Well, good move by the Censor Board...what the hell was the filmmaker thinking? Barbara Mori was such a flop actress and these people were making fun of her...very low.
