Pooja Bhatt's bold project Jism 2 is set to get a verdict from the Central Board of Film Certification Wednesday and the actress-turned-director says she won't accept any cuts that will alter her narrative.

"Verdict on Jism 2 Censors tomorrow (Wednesday). No way I am going to accept cuts that mutilate my film. But if the cuts work, shall be gracious," tweeted Pooja Tuesday night.

Jism 2 is a sequel to the 2003 film Jism, which was quite bold for its time. The new film is expected to be steamier with Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone in the lead role.

Recalling the days when Jism underwent the censors' scanner, Pooja wrote: "Ten years ago when we 'censored' Jism, they cut out two shots that seem laughable in this day and age, but were considered provocative then. I accepted the two cuts on Jism 10 years ago because it did not mar our narrative in the least and frankly, made our edit far more aesthetic," she added.

Jism 2 also features Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh, and releases July 27.
