Let him be chubby': Fans defend Salman Khan amid online body-shaming) The filmmaker duo in an interview with Hindi Rush, disclosed how they received backlash from Central Board of Film Certification stating that they have disturbed the moral fibre of the nation after that video came out. They further added how Salman Khan also called them to stop doing such "sexy" videos. Vinay in the interview said, "A big actor called us to his house, and he told us, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika-Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm trying to make you understand, don't do such sexy songs, it doesn't look good)'. He just said, 'You've got nice, pure minds'." When asked who it was, they named Salman Khan. The filmmakers said that back then, they had hit a creative road block while doing only cute videos and thought of branching out which resulted in their remix era. 'We were doing cute and innocent songs with Falguni Pathak. We were doing songs with ghazals with Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas. As creative people, musically we needed some change. One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was exercising while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishore Kumar song. An idea sparked, and that's what began the remix trend in India. We made Kaliyon Ka Chaman, Kaanta Laga, Chadti Jawani… The sound organically reminds you of a nightclub, to a sensual visualisation,' Vinay said. After the success of their Sanam Teri Kasam re-release in theatres, the director duo are planning to make a sequel to the film. While they are certain to bring back Harshvardhan Rane from the original cast, they have categorically denied to cast Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane due to ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.

Salman Khan Didn't Like Kaanta Laga Remix: " Yeh Sexy Kaam Acha Nahi Hota"
New Delhi: Back in the 90s, the video of the Kaanta Laga remix - featuring Shefali Jariwala - caused an uproar in the world of pop culture. Shefali Jariwala, as a bold party girl, watching adult content didn't sit well with the Censor Board and eventually the directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru received a warning from the board. In a recent interview, the director duo recalled the backlash and revealed Salman Khan didn't approve of the song as well. Vinay recalled, "A big actor called us to his house, and he told us, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm trying to make you understand, don't do such sexy songs, it doesn't look good)'. He just said, 'You've got nice, pure minds'." Asked to reveal the name of the big star, they named Salman Khan. Ironically, the director duo came up with the idea of making such video when they saw Salman Khan listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishore Kumar song while working out. They continued, "One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was exercising while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishor Kumar song. An idea sparked, and that's what began the remix trend in India. We made Kaliyon Ka Chaman, Kaanta Laga, Chadti Jawani... The sound organically reminds you of a nightclub, to a sensual visualisation." The music of Kaanta Laga was composed by R. D. Burman. It was from the film titled Samadhi featuring Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Asha Parekh. The song was remixed by T-Series album DJ Doll with an accompanying music video featuring Shefali Jariwala. Shefali became an overnight sensation with the video.

Salman Khan didn't approve of music video in which girl parties in a thong and looks at porn; summoned directors to his house: ‘Yeh sexy kaam…'
Filmmakers Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, best known for their music videos and the film Sanam Teri Kasam, recalled the controversy that erupted after the release of their music video for 'Kaanta Laga.' Featuring Shefali Jariwala as 'a young, rebellious girl', who parties in a nightclub, wears a thong, and looks at porn. While the directors said that their intentions were pure, the music video got them a slap on the wrist from the Central Board of Film Certification and a rebuke from none other than Salman Khan. Radhika and Vinay directed Salman in the film Lucky: No Time for Love, and have directed several song sequences in his films. In an interview with Hindi Rush, they recalled getting 'a call from the censor board saying that we have disturbed the moral fibre of the nation'. Vinay said, 'A big actor called us to his house, and he told us, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm trying to make you understand, don't do such sexy songs, it doesn't look good)'. He just said, 'You've got nice, pure minds'.' Prodded further, the filmmakers admitted that the actor in question was Salman.

They said, 'We were doing cute and innocent songs with Falguni Pathak. We were doing songs with Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas. As creative people, we wanted to evolve. One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was exercising while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishor Kumar song. An idea sparked, and that's what began the remix trend in India. We made 'Kaliyon Ka Chaman', 'Kaanta Laga', 'Chadti Jawani'… The sound organically reminds you of a nightclub, to a sensual visualisation.' Radhika explained some of the inspirations behind the video. She said, 'I went to a girls' school. A friend of mine would always refuse getting stamped on her hand while going to a club. She'd pull her top to one side and ask to be stamped on her neck. That's what we did in the video as well. We thought it would be cool. The porn magazine in the video came from my own story. There would be porn magazines for women back then, and I was once caught reading one in school. We used that in the video.' Vinay added, 'Even I didn't know that there were porn magazines featuring men. We sent our assistants to find one and they travelled across the length and breadth of Mumbai. They finally found one at Bandra Hill Road. It was such a simple thing, but it caused such a big scandal. The thong that she was wearing was all purely for fashion; we didn't realise we were disturbing the moral fibre of the country.' Salman is known to be conservative when it comes to certain topics. His c0-star in the film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Palak Tiwari, once revealed that he disapproves of certain kinds of clothes on women. She said in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, 'You know, there's a very funny story… When I was AD-ing with Salman sir on Antim, Salman sir had a rule: 'every girl on my set, the neckline should be here, all the girls should be covered, like good proper girls'.' Palak later said that she made a mistake by telling the story, and that she didn't want to paint Salman as a prude. She said that Salman is 'an extremely understanding' individual, and he'd know that she 'would never say anything malapropos about him, ever. Incidentally, Shefali Jariwala was a contestant on the 13th season of Bigg Boss, hosted by Salman.
