Hashmi film gets adults-only certificate

Emraan Hashmi's latest film has received an adults-only rating because of its discussion of pornography and virginity.

The Indian censorship board objected to at least ten scenes in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, including several of Hashmi's character having sex, the Mumbai Mirror has reported.

Speaking to the paper, a spokesman for the board said: “The entire theme is blatantly adult.

"You guys have discussed virginity and pornography. This film in its present state is definitely not fit to be shown to kids."

Director Madhur Bhandakar said that he was disappointed with the verdict on the so-called romantic comedy.

Hashmi, who is nicknamed 'serial kisser' by the Indian press, is known for his on-screen clinches.
