New Delhi: Two years after director Sanjay Gadhvi and producer Aditya Chopra produced the racy thriller Dhoom, they returned with the more fast and more furious Dhoom 2.
The hi-tech sequel had audiences wanting more and Aditya Chopra decided not to take time off and bask in his glory, but start work on the third film in the series.
However, there is some bad news. Making a third film could soon become a tough task if Maharashtra's State Transport Commissioner, Shyamsunder D Shinde, has his way.
Shinde, who feels that the movies fast scenes and rash driving will have a bad influence on the youth has asked the Censor Board of India to delete them from the film.
On the occasion of Road Safety Week, the minister was quoted by national daily Hindustan Times as saying that, "Most young men try to imitate the stunts shown in these films. But this only leads to accidents because they are not capable of handling such powerful vehicles. That is why I have written a letter to the Censor Board asking for such scenes to be deleted from movies."
But, what's a Dhoom flick without some hi-tech, extraordinary, daredevil bike stunts?
Fans are disappointed, but Shinde, who is of the opinion that most accidents happen due to high speeds, is holding firm.
And fans are not the only ones. Filmmakers too are lamenting such policies and say that if they cannot smoke in films, shoot with trained animals or showcase stunts, then what is the point in cinema.
They blame such dogmatic views for killing the inherent characteristics of a movie.
Censor Board officials, however, say that they have not yet received any notification for the same yet.
