<span class=normal>Says Emraan, The reason I wanted the excessive erotic content to be cut down was because Crook is not a skin flick. It is much more than an entertainer. It touches down the serious issue of racial discrimination with Indians in Australia, in an entertaining way. I do not want Crook to be another Murder or Jism. Also, if you see my recent film OUATIM, it did not have lengthy intimate scenes but the film worked equally well.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Meanwhile, Mahesh Bhatt seems hell-bent on retaining the said scene. Says the veteran filmmaker, Emraans quest for respectability is totally disconnected from the Box Office. Today, the audience wants to be gratified and not edited. In Crook, we have a great product, which has the added component of sensuality. I see no reason to cut it down. </span>
