The
scandal-prone
new
film
Dunno
Y...
Na
Jaane
Kyon
has
gotten
itself
into
trouble
with
the
censor
board.
Blurbs
boasting
that
it
is
Indian
cinema"s
first
gay
love
story
have
apparently
not
encouraged
the
censors
to
loosen
up
and
act
liberated.
The
censor
board
has
clamped
down
heavily
on
the
love-making
sequences
between
the
film"s
leading
man
Kapil
Sharma
and
the
Delhi-based
model
Yuvraaj
Parasher
who
plays
Sharma"s
lover.
Apparently,
the
film
which
also
features
stalwarts
Zeenat
Aman
and
Helen,
is
carpeted
with
smooching
and
love-making
sequences
between
the
two
guys.
There
is
also
a
lingering
gay
love-making
scene
which
goes
all
the
way.
It
apparently
had
the
ladies
in
the
censor
board
walking
off
in
a
moral
huff
and
eventually
asking
the
film"s
director
Sanjay
Sharma
to
delete
the
torried
kissing
sequence
and
the
love-making
sequence.
The
film
leading
man
who
says
he"s
straight
in
real
life,
is
appalled
by
the
hypocrisy
of
the
censor
board.
“Why
should
the
censors
be
scandalized
if
two
men
are
kissing
and
making
love?
My
sequences
with
my
screen
partner
go
as
far
as
the
scenes
showing
a
guy
and
girl
doing
it
in
our
films.
And
let
me
tell
you,
some
of
these
heterosexual
sequences
are
extremely
vulgar.
The
ones
in
my
film
are
very
aesthetic.
And
so
what
if
it"s
two
men
making
love?
Love
is
love
regardless
of
gender."
The
film"s
makers
have
now
submitted
their
film
to
the
revising
committee
where
they
hope
the
ostensibly
objectionable
sequences
will
be.
Says
Kapil,
“The
censor
board
objected
to
the
kissing
and
love-making.
They
asked
us
to
delete
them.
We
refused.
We
aren"t
trying
to
create
any
kind
of
sleazy
stuff
here.
Ours
is
the
first
ever
serious
gay
love-story.
The
intimacy
is
essential.
Our
film
is
now
with
the
revising
committee."
This
isn"t
the
first
mainstream
film
to
show
intimacy
between
two
men.
In
Madhur
Bhandarkar"s
Fashion
there
was
masculine
passion
in
the
form
of
a
kiss
between
Samir
Soni
and
his
screen
partner.
Bhandarkar
voluntarily
snipped
it
out.
Sudipto
Chattopadhyay"s
Pankh
had
a
smooch
between
Maradona
Rebello
and
his
screen
partner.
In
Onir"s
I
Am
Rahul
Bose
and
Arjun
Mathur
play
a
gay
couple
and
have
a
kissing
sequence.
Dunno
Y
Na
Jaane
Kyon
is
the
first
film
to
show
a
gay
love-making
sequence.
Defends
Kapil
Sharma,
“It
is
sensual
and
bold,
not
at
all
vulgar.
It"s
like
any
lovemaking
between
a
guy
and
a
girl.
Why
should
we
delete
it?
Yuvraaj
Parasher
who
has
gone
nude
for
the
camera
plays
Sharma"s
gay
partner.
He
adds,
“I
feel
cinema
and
the
audience
have
changed.
I
never
wanted
to
make
my
debut
as
a
collegian
wooing
a
chick
from
my
mo"bike.
When
I
was
selected
to
play
gay
in
the
audition
I
was
elated.
I"d
rather
do
something
unconventional."
Speaking
about
making
love
to
a
guy
on
camera
Yuvraaj
says,
“It
was
awkward.
After
doing
it
with
Kapil
we
avoided
each
other.
Finally
we
looked
at
one
another
and
burst
laughing."
Maybe
Rituparno
Ghosh
who
constantly
has
a
problem
casting
his
gay
characters
should
meet
these
two
guys.
