‘Sanskari’ Pahlaj Nihalani Turns Distributor For Julie 2 & Irony Died A Slow Death

Remember part-time Censor Board chief and full time party pooper Pahlaj Nihalani?

Yes, the same Nihalani who’d baffled mathematicians all across the world by ‘cutting’ kissing scenes by ‘40%’.

The same Nihalani who made films like Mastizaade and Kya Super Kool Hain Hum look like they were directed by Sooraj Barjatya.

Before he became the Censor Board chief, Nihalani had produced art house movies like Aag Ka Gola and Gunahon Ka Faisla.

And now that he’s no longer a part of the CBFC, he’s back to producing movies.

I mean let’s have a moment of silence for irony that passed away peacefully as soon as this piece of news came out.

We aren’t the only ones baffled. Nihalani’s rather bold step has shaken the Twitterati as well.

Am delighted that the Censor Board relieved Pahlaj Nihalani of the burdens of office so that he could give us Julie 2.😂😂😂

#PahlajNihalani be likeI won’t pass because it’s not good for kidsNow I can produce because kids have grown up

Well, in Nihalani’s defence, maybe he produced the movie because at least the lead actress is ‘covering’ her face.

Well, call me a sadist, but it’d be fun watching Prasoon Joshi censoring the shit out of this one.

Till then, here’s an image of Pahlaj Nihalani wondering about the fate of his movie.
