Horror film Ghost, which shows an evil spirit in female form being crucified, is toned down to avoid offending country's Christians
A horror movie cited as Bollywood's most violent film of all time has been cut by Indian censors, according to reports. Members of the Central Board of Film Certification, the country's regulatory film body, balked at scenes in Puja Jatinder Bedi's Ghost in which an evil spirit in female form is crucified, citing concerns that it would offend members of the country's Christian minority.
Bedi has attacked the cuts to what she described as one of the film's most important segments. "It's a scene where the ghost gets crucified like Jesus Christ," she told the Times of India. "The scene was very pivotal for the screenplay."
The director added: "The censor board felt that the crucifixion would hurt religious sentiments of the Christian community. Also, the brutality was being perpetrated on a woman.
