Dhoni’s alleged ex Raai Laxmi in Julie 2!

Julie 2 starring south actress Raai Laxmi has been hitting the headlines ever since former CBFC Chief Pahlaj Nihalani revealed its steamy teaser recently. It was almost ironic to see the former CBFC Chief, who was the flag bearer of sanskar and behind many movies being censored, shed his avatar to bring to this erotic thriller which he claims is an adult clean film. Now, we don’t know what that means.

The film marks the Bollywood debut in a leading role of Raai Laxmi, who is a famous face in South and has been part of as many as 49 movies.

But, did you know that Raai Laxmi once dated our former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni?

In a previously interview to a famous tabloid, the actress was quoted as telling, "I was the brand ambassador for the team that he was a part of and we were together for less than a year. We had never committed to each other and never thought of getting married either, so I don’t understand why people would talk about us. It didn’t work for us, so we moved on.”

I am sanskari; Julie 2 is a very clean and adult movie, reveals Pahlaj Nihalani!

Filmmaker Pahlaj Nihalani who had been acting as the custodian of Indian culture as the CBFC Chief seems to have left it all behind as he presents an erotic-thriller titled Julie 2. The tagline of the erotic-thriller is 'bold, beautiful and blessed'.

The man who had a great problem with words like 'intercourse' and had many cuss words cut from movies, is now back to being a Bollywood distributor. As he presents Julie 2, the sequel to Neha Dhupia-starrer Julie (2004), one could hardly miss the irony here.

Speaking about the film, Nihalani told, "It is a very clean, adult movie. If I were there (as the chairperson) I would’ve given it no cuts at all. It doesn’t have obscenity or any cuss words. It’s a complete adult, family film."

He further added, "This is my business. This is an adult film and I am asking for an ‘A’ certificate only, not for ‘U’ or ‘U/A’… I am sanskari, it’s in our mitti, India is a place where nothing is bigger than sanskar. I was, am and will be this (sanskari)."

On being questioned on what really attracted him to the film’s script when the trailer looks “lady oriented”, the former censor board chief told, “If I tell you everything here, what will you see in the film? I know why you asked me this. But let me tell you there is no burkha here. The story of Julie 2 is very relatable. You will realise this once you watch it.”
