"I don't wish it to be an elite product. I am catering the man on the streets and women who understand 'the erotica'. It is an erotic sensual thriller...," she added.

She clarified that she never wanted children to watch it.

"We applied for an 'A' because I am very clear that I want an 'A' and not a 'U/A'. I am not making the the film for children, it's an adult film for adult sensibilities. The adult audience is a sizeable number and it is big enough for my film," Pooja told IANS.

Talking about the cuts made, she says there were few changes done.

"The censor board asked me to decrease the length of shots at four places or replace it with another one. Three out of which are in songs and one is a scene. One of them is the the song 'Yeh kasoor', which is already out on the internet," she said adding that censor board left the cuts to "director's discretion".

"I think, by saying that they are being rather mature. I made the changes and genuinely felt it made my film more erotic. Otherwise, they did not tampered with a single dialogue or a scene.

"I have not tampered with sensual content at all. I promise, apart from 'Jism' 1, 'Jism 2' will be the most sensual film of our times and I assure that I will deliver that promise," she said.

'Jism 2', releasing Aug 3, is a sequel to the 2003 film, features Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, with Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda.u00a0
