Kolkata HC orders to cover back of actress in ‘Hate Story’ in posters
MUMBAI: In an unprecedented order, the Kolkata High Court has upheld the directive given by West Bengal Board of Censorship to distributors there not to display posters that showcase lead actress Paoli Dam in sensuous positions in the posters of Vikram Bhatt’s film Hate Story releasing on 20 April.
It is said that Jalan Distribuors moved the High Court challenging the directions of the state Censor Board to display the posters only after painting the bare back of the actress as displayed in one of the posters, with blue paint.
Earlier, the Censor board had banned two posters of the film where in one poster the actress shows her bare back while in the other she is seen in a compromising position with a man.
The Board cleared the other six posters only after the bare body of the actress was painted in blue.
