A scene in a Bollywood film in which the star drops a towel showing his naked backside has been cut following objections from India's Film Censor Board. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali said that the board had offered the choice of leaving the scene in the film and releasing it with an adult rating or removing it with a general-audience rating. Bhansali said that since cutting the scene did not affect the "flow" of the story, he agreed to remove it. The filmmaker may also have been looking over his shoulder, since the film, Saawariya, due to be released on Nov. 9, is the first Indian film to be co-produced with Sony Pictures.
