Bittoo Boss escapes trouble


Bittoo Boss is a movie that has the most different category associated with films and the censor board in India - that of Parental Guidance! This different and new concept has made producer Kumar Mangat extremely happy with the movie’s proceedings.


There was trouble about a track sung by Mika with original lyrics, “Bittoo sabki lega….photo” but the issue has already been overcome. The censor board objected to these lyrics, saying they lend themselves to double meaning. The movie team was quick to react and immediately, producer Abhishek Pathak, who is Kumar Mangat’s son, along with music composer Raghav Sachar, changed the lyrics of the song to “Bittoo sabki photo lega” and recorded it in Sachar’s voice before re-approaching the censor board. The song was soon re recorder in Mika’s voice.
Raghav Sachar said, “The song was on YouTube when censor disapproved it. For the TV promos, we manipulated the lyrics from ‘Bittoo sabki lega…photo’ to ‘Bittu sabki photo lega’. As soon as the song was passed, I rushed to Haryana to Mika’s farmhouse to record the new version. We will be soon releasing it on channels. The Internet version will remain the same.”
Mika said, “We have turned the lyrics so there is no scope for double meaning. The new version sounds as good though. I have always been lucky for Viacom. Whenever they’ve made a promotional video, they’ve featured me.”
The song has not been included in the film so far and is being used only for promotion purposes.
