B.A. Pass maker: The censors have toned me down

A sequel to the 2012 neo-noir erotica, 'B.A. Pass', went on the floors last week in Mumbai. But written and directed by Shadaab Khan, 'MA Pass', the second instalment, does not feature Shilpa Shukla as Sarika aunty. In fact, the plot has nothing in common with the original, does not draw from real life and has no sexual content.

“We are filming the first and only romantic scene next week.We may have graduated from BA to MA but this is a light-hearted drama with no stripping or sensuality. The censors have really toned me down and I'm going to follow all their guidelines to the T," admits filmmaker Narendra Singh.
Set in Bollywood, it follows 19-year-old aspiring actress Neha from Indore to Mumbai. She ends up doing commercials and reality shows. “There are two other important characters the broker Vijay and a B-grade, casting director, Manorama," says Singh who found his protagonist in a 19-year-old from Chandigarh, Kritika Sachdeva, whose story parallels Neha's.
The film will wrap up the Mumbai schedule on August 15 and then move to Goa, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
