Love Aaj Kal has so-called objectionable scenes

The upcoming Saif Ali Khan starrer 'Love Aaj Kal' claims to be a family entertainer but hold on…there’s more to it!

Imtiaz Ali openly admits the movie starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone has bold kissing scenes, yet he assures everyone that this is going to be a complete family movie. Ali promises that 'Love Aaj Kal', which is Saif's debut as a producer, is a movie that would be accepted by an entire family.

Speaking to the media about the film, he said, “Kisses included,” (he winked) “Nobody will feel inhibited watching 'Love Aaj Kal'. No one will hesitate walking into the film with his family. All that is potentially objectionable in the film in the strictest of sense has been taken care of in the first promo. If you have warmed up on it, rest assured you will love 'Love Aaj Kal',” the filmmaker said.

Therefore he has included the so-called objectionable scenes in the promos, so that the audience is ready for it by the time they get to watch the film.

Imtiaz Ali had to face people who weren't too comfortable with the idea of showing Saif trying to hold Deepika's butt, then share an unabashed kiss with her in the car and also mouth Hinglish expletives on a date right in the promo itself.

'They thought that people may get an impression that the film was only about these things but I had my own viewpoint,' explains Ali. He also added, “See, it's the way you put it in the film and treat it. It's up to the filmmaker not to make his film some fodder for perversion or lechery.”
