The Marathi film '
Nay Varan Bhat Loncha Kon Nay Koncha' (NVBLKNK) has been in the midst of a
controversy
for a while now. After the National Commission for Women (
NCW
) had expressed displeasure over the trailer of the film in January, a plea filed by social activist Seema Deshpande alleged that the film showed obscene scenes involving children.
Recently, a case was registered against filmmaker
Mahesh Manjrekar at the Mahim police station in Mumbai, under IPC Section 292, 34, POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Section 14 and IT Section 67, 67B, for the portrayal of children in an objectionable manner.
Speaking to us actress
Ashwini Kulkarni, who plays an important role in the film, says that the shoot itself was very thoughtfully done and there was nothing objectionable involved in it. She said, “Mahesh sir put the comfort of the actors above everything else, and a lot of thought went into shooting every scene in this film. Plus, the said scenes that have caused this controversy have not been shot for the purpose of titillation. They play a pivotal role in taking the story of the film forward. I firmly stand by the film and Mahesh sir.”
