Producers snip Arjun Rampal’s middle finger

Better safe than sorry. This is what producers Suniel Shetty and Ekta Kapoor might have thought for their feature EMI. Director Saurav Kabra while shooting a promotional video for EMI accidentally shot Arjun Rampal giving the middle finger to the camera. While the first cut of the song featured this scene, at a later stage they decided that perhaps such behaviour may not go down too well with the Censor Board.

Strangely, it was a choreographic slip on Rampal's part that led to this inconvenience. The song was meant to feature the actor using his fingers to count the number sequence 1-2-3 backward. “The dance step was in rhythm with this three-two-one theme, and each finger was being successively reduced. Accidentally Rampal did this. It isn't something we realized while shooting,” said Kabra. Well perhaps Rampal should have had the good sense to do it the other way around?

“After the scene was shot, we immediately realised this, and thought of the repercussions this would might. So we immediately removed the shot.” EMI features Sanjay Dutt as Sattar Bhai, someone who is a recovery agent. The film revolves around people who take loans and can't pay back their — you guessed it — EMI. Sounds familiar? Do plan your finances guys, or else a Sattar Bhai equivalent might be at your door, showing you his middle finger. And no Censor Board will be around to chop that off!
