Controversial smooch in film?
A Bollywood film is to be made on the privacy issues surrounding cameraphones.
Remember the controversial smooch that raised a storm sometime back? To refresh your memory, a mobile phone user captured an alleged smooch of two stars on the mobile-camera and the intimate pics were printed on the front page of a leading tabloid.
Well, according to Sify.com, "not just this incident, but several occurrences reported in the media vis-à-vis camera phones/mobile phones will be packed in Deepak Tijori's new film. Yes, you've read it right, Tijori's new film is based on the pros and cons of the mobile phone technology.
What prompted him to make a film on an offbeat theme? “You come across so many stories in the media these days. So many incidents that highlight the misuse of camera phones have come to light of late. But my film won't just look at the negative side, but also the positive side of owning mobile phones,” Tijori says."
