Ozawa movie to premiere on Thursday

Maria Ozawa (JP)Maria Ozawa (JP)A movie starring Japanese pornstar Maria Ozawa, better known as Miyabi, is set to premiere on Thursday after the Film Censorship Institute approved its screening.

“The film went through the censorship institute almost uncut,” Ody said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

He added there was no seductive stage act by Miyabi displayed in the movie. “It’s a comedy movie,” he said.

The plan to produce the film sparked uproar last year. The controversy climaxed with interim tourism and culture minister Muhammad Nuh banning Ozawa from visiting the country for shooting.
