Panaji
(PTI):
Goa
Chief
Minister
Digambar
Kamat
yesterday
said
that
he
would
seek
report
from
the
state
police
about
Rohan
Sippy's
flick
Dum
Maaro
Dum,
which
allegedly
shows
the
state
in
poor
light.
The
Chief
Minister
told
reporters
that
he
will
ask
police
to
go
through
the
movie
before
it
is
screened.
"I
heard
that
police
have
already
asked
the
producer
of
the
movie
to
screen
it
for
them.
I
will
check
up
with
the
police," he
said.
The
movie
starring
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Bipasha
Basu
and
Deepika
Padukone
reportedly
speaks
of
drugs,
sex
and
sleaze
in
this
beach
heaven
which
was
recently
rocked
by
drug
scandals.
Goa
tourism
industry
has
voiced
concern
that
the
movie
may
show
the
state
in
poor
light,
thereby
affecting
the
industry,
which
is
recovering
from
a
lean
period.
"The
Censor
Board
should
cut
the
objectionable
parts,
if
the
film
portrays
the
state
in
bad
light,"
Travel
and
Tourism
Association
of
Goa
President
Gaurish
Dhond
said
adding
that
Goa
cannot
afford
to
have
bad
publicity
which
could
affect
the
tourist
inflow.
Dhond,
admitting
that
he
is
yet
to
see
even
a
promo
of
the
movie,
said
that
a
negative
depiction
of
the
state
could
harm
the
image
of
the
state
as
a
tourist
destination.
"British
teenager
Scarlet
Eden
Keeling
death
case
was
hyped
so
much
that
people
started
feeling
that
our
beaches
are
unsafe,
which
was
not
true
at
all,"
he
said
adding
that
filmmakers
should
portray
the
truth.
When
contacted
Rohan
Sippy's
official
spokesman
said
the
film
is
based
on
whatever
that
has
happened
in
Goa
in
the
recent
past.
"There
was
a
proper
research
conducted
on
Goa's
situation,
before
finalising
the
script,"
she
said
adding
they
are
willing
to
show
promos
to
Goa
police.
