The lyrics of Chitrangda Singh's item number Kafirana were changed from I Want Fakht You to I Want Just You from the recently released Shirish Kunder film Joker, to avoid any trouble with the censors.
However, the item girl herself preferred the original lyrics and liked them better. The lyrics were changed from the Marathi word Fakht, which means only, to 'Just', to avoid any controversy.
At a recent event, Chitrangda said, "Personally, I like the original version. I know it's a bit naughty, but the idea was for it not to be offensive. So keeping that in mind, this one is also nice. But I like the original better."
The actress also spoke about the censor board's unkindest cuts. She feels that although some of their actions are necessary, a few of them are uncalled for.
She said, "I think till a limit, censorship is right. There is too much exposure. You think of the kids most of the times, they should not have access to such things. But sometimes, we just push it a bit too much. It's not required sometimes."
Chitrangda Singh will next be seen in Sudhir Mishra's next film, opposite Arjun Rampal.
Dusky dame Chitrangda Singh's sultry item song kaafirana in Shirish Kunder's next flick Joker might have impressed many, but it seems that a group of patriotic activists have taken offence to the lyrics of the song.
It seems that some of the lyrics of the song refer to female freedom fighter Rani Laxmibai in what the activists claim to be a derogatory manner and this has angered the activists, who want the producers and Kunder to delete the line. A lawyer representing the group also hinted that they might move the Bombay High Court if the line is not deleted.
Starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles, Joker revolves around a remote village named Paglapur, which becomes popular overnight following reports of alien landings and crop circles.
Dusky actress Chitrangda Singh, who will be seen in an item song kaafirana in Shirish Kunder's Joker, will also reportedly lend her voice for a song in the movie for the very first time, claims a source.
Confirming the news, Kunder was quoted saying that Singh will be indeed making her debut as a singer for the remixed version of I want just you and will now soon record portions of the song originally voiced by Sunidhi Chauhan for the remix.
Joker, starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, revolves around the remote village of Paglapur, which becomes the centre of a media storm and politics following reports of crop circles and UFO landings.
