Jannat Emraan HashmiMahesh Bhatt’s Jannat released on May 16th that is today, has a dialog which compares the cricketers with prostitutes, now the question arises who has more reason to be offended by this act ? the Cricketers or the Prostitutes ? As known earlier Jannat deals with the Match-Fixing and some illegal acts in Cricket, Emraan Hashmi who plays a Cricket Bookie compares the two profession and says Cricketers are like prostitutes!.

The Censor board saw nothing objectionable on the world’s poshest profession bring compared with the oldest. Emraan Hashmi who plays Arjun a Cricket Bookie says “Dekhiye Sir. Cricketers aur prostitutes ke beech zyada farq nahin hota. Donon ki jawani khatm to kahani khatm” Yes these are the exact words used by him to a cricketer while fixing a match with him.

In fact producer Mahesh Bhatt is supremely gung-ho about this latest eyebrow-raising tryst with controversy. “Yes, those are the exact words in Jannat. And what’s wrong with that? If you think about it, we’re all prostitutes. And at least they deliver what they promise. I’m no different from a prostitute. I too am a pleasure peddler. And please, I’d rather be a prostitute than a saint,” says the eternal celluloid renegade who has earlier whipped up a frenzy of controversies in movies like Arth, Zakhm and Woh Lamhe.
