The song features five models on a beach in exposing bikinis for a calendar shoot.According to the sources, Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has suggested that the song be given an Adult certification and be declared inappropriate for viewing on TV. But the makers have been allowed to retain the song in the film.

 

A source from the production house said, "One of the songs from the movie features five girls on a beach. They’re in bikinis and other swim wear, while they are being photographed for a calendar. The song was supposed to be aired on TV this Sunday (July 5), but now, the board has suggested that the song be given an A certificate, and be declared inappropriate for TV viewing. However, they have allowed the makers to retain the song in the film".

Sangeeta Ahir, Co-producer of the flick said, "It is sad... why can’t women look sexy? The song has been shot on a beach, and hence they are wearing swim suits... I am very sure of the content, and I will not promote sleaze just to grab eyeballs. The film is, in fact, about the emotional journey of these girls".
