Less than a month since his removal as the chief of the Central Board of Film Certification, Pahlaj Nihalani has returned to the film industry.
Nihlani will be ‘presenting’ the upcoming ‘bold, beautiful and blessed’ sequel to the 2004 Neha Dhupia erotic film, Julie.
Director Deepak Shivdasani said, “I started writing the script in 2012 and had discussed the idea with Pahlajji then. He loved it. He is family and after seeing it with his wife recently, he told me ‘Yeh film ab meri hai,’ and will be presenting it.”
Asked about the racy material, especially with regard to Nihalani’s controversial stance on similar films (he refused to allow the word ‘intercourse’ in Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal.
During his career as producer, Nihlani made several films that included suggestive scenes, films like Andaz and Aankhein.
