The posters of forthcoming film "PK" showing Bollywood’s superstar Aamir Khan virtually nude finally got some clothes here Saturday.
Vile Parle Congress legislator Krishna Hegde 'dressed' up the actor's poster and a cutout before a very large number of people who cheered and clapped their approval.
Terming the actor's posters as "distasteful and against Indian culture," Hegde formally 'clothed' Aamir in the poster in a very bright green pair of shorts and a grey tee-shirt.
"Aamir Khan is a good actor and hosts the program Satyameva Jayate. These posters are distasteful and against Indian culture. They create a negative impression in the minds of families and youngsters who consider him an icon," Hegde said at the symbolic event.
He urged Aamir Khan to immediately withdraw this objectionable 'nude presentation' on the movie "PK" posters, which "has crossed limits."
However, he clarified that the intention was not at all to indulge in moral policing but to send a message that such posters are not required for publicity for an acclaimed actor like Aamir.
Aamir (49) had termed the controversial poster a "key art", depicting the storyline of the movie made by Rajkumar Hirani.
Defending it, Aamir had said, "When you people (audience) will watch the film then only you will be able to understand the idea behind (the poster). But I would just like to say that the kind of filmmaker, the kind of writer Rajkumar is, he always strives to present the things, his thinking, in a unique way and that's why I am his huge fan."
However, he clarified that the intention was not to indulge in moral policing but to send a message that such posters are not required for publicity for an acclaimed actor like Aamir.
Amir khan who is very well known for his perfection, fondly denoted as Mr. Perfectionist has landed himself into some serious trouble with his upcoming movie poster of pk. PK Movie is an upcoming comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Siddharth Roy Kapur.
It stars Mr. Allrounder aka Mr. perfectionist Aamir Khan as the eponymous lead, with the hot Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt appearing in supporting roles. Hirani has stated that the film will be a satire on "God and godmen". The whole nation was taken by surprise after the ‘first look’ of Aamir Khan’s film PK, showing him doing a full monty, posing almost nude when released recently. The poster in question shows the actor in his birthday suit with just a transistor strategically carried by him to cover his bare minimum essentials. The repercussions of the ‘almost nude’ Aamir Khan, not just surprised and shocked everyone, but also sent the social media in frenzy. Well, the other ‘repercussion’ of Aamir Khan’s look was felt when a lawyer moved court against Aamir and a Hindi daily for publishing an ‘obscene’ poster of his film. The lawyer alleged that the film’s poster published would incite ‘sexual violence’ and encourage ‘obscenity’. The Court of ACMM G K Bharti had set August 7 as the next date of hearing.
Besides Aamir, the movie - slated for a December release - features Sanjay Dutt, Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput.
