The upcoming horror film Fired will terrify the audience and will run shivers down the spine with its haunting kisses. And the director Sajjit Warrier is not worried about the movie running into trouble with the censor board for the horrific and steamy kissing scenes.
"I am talking about a pure Indian horror movie here for an international audience. And horror by certain standards needs to have ample amount of gore and sex," told Warrier.
The censor board deemed the promos for showing inexplicit content and found the film to fall under category ‘A.'
"It's not a lustful titillating kind of kiss that we are portraying, it's haunting. The kisses in Fired for that matter will terrify audiences. We don't want to cut anything but we'll have to show it to the censors. I don't want a U/A certificate. We are happy with an A-certificate but with that we should not be asked for any more cuts because we are trying to reach that kind of audience," told Warrier.
The makers of the film were asked to remove nude scenes and bring down the violent sequences. Despite chucking off the sensitive scenes, the promos still attracted an "A" certificate.
"The important point is that the hero has been shown hallucinating under the influence of anti-depressants since the beginning of the film. Hence all scenes are in the character's mind and in flashback including the love scenes.
"There is some nudity but we agreed to remove it though we might keep it for the international audience. There are also some scenes where blood has been shown but we are not showing violence here. It just plays around in his head," told the director who has also written the script of the film.
Fired is still waiting for a censor certificate and the release date hasn't been decided yet. The film stars Rahul Bose with British model and screen debutant Militza Radmilovic.
The film is based in London , and the 90-minute picture is about a man's guilt when he realizes his mistakes but by then it's too late. It's the last 90 minutes of his life after he fires 121 employees to repair his scandal ridden work record and to cope with the global recession.
