The Shiv Sena has objected to Poonam Pandey's skin show in her upcoming film, Nasha.
The party has forced the film's publicity posters to be taken down in Lower Parel and Borivali. Says producer Aditya Bhatia, "My outdoor publicist called up to say that Shiv Sainiks had made him pull down the hoarding. They found Poonam's posture objectionable. But my publicity stills have been approved by the Western India Film Producers' Association. So, I am not going to pull the other hoardings down. I am even thinking of filing a complaint."
Bhatia adds, "I am a responsible citizen. If I think the posters are objectionable, I would pull them down myself. Maybe I will keep them away from children's view."
Says Akshay Bardapurkar, the general secretary of Shiv Sena Chitrapat Sena, "We find the poster highly vulgar and derogatory and won't allow such hoardings. We are trying to pull down hoardings all across the city."

Jul 21, 2013 at 12:00 amWhat an attractive young woman. What is the big problem for Shiv Sena to object to showing a bit of leg. What hypocrisy? When India has the largest brothel system in the world per capita. Why not do something to alleviate the suffering of women in India. A woman is RAPED ever 20 seconds in India, by their own admission. So why not do something about that or about female infanticide or poverty without objecting to a pair of legs which does no harm to anyone.
