Helmer Woody Allen used his creative control to pull “Blue Jasmine” from Indian screens rather than comply with a law that insists on an anti-smoking scroll. Allen felt that the scroll, which by law must pop up at the bottom of a screen whenever a character lights up, distracted from his movie. PVR Cinemas’ Deepak Sharma told the DNA newspaper: “He wasn’t comfortable with the disclaimer that we are required to run when a smoking scene is shown in films. He feels that when the scroll comes, attention goes to it rather than the scene. We had to abide by the law, and we don’t have control over the film.”
