Savita Bhabhi set for B'wood debut!

Savita Bhabhi, the famous cyber comic strip that chronicled the sexcapades of a middle class Indian housewife, is all set to be made into a Bollywood film. India's favourite sister-in-law will be rechristened as Sheetal Bhabhi in a film titled Sheetalbhabhi.com.

Savitabhabhi.com, a raunchy website that became a rage for its detailing of small town aesthetics and its lurid chronicling of a randy housewife, will now be seen on the big screen.

C M Jain, a regular visitor on the website, will helm the direction. He said, "The savitabhabhi website was very popular and everyone was aware of it. The plot interested me and I am certain that it will interest everyone."

The movie stars Heena Rehman in the lead role, and Jatin Grewal will play her husband.

The movie also stars Shakti Kapoor and Vikas Kalantri in pivotal roles. (Pic: Viral Bhayani)

Savita Bhabhi was a cartoon porn website, featuring explicit depictions of the adventures of a housewife called Savita. The site became the subject of much debate when it was banned, since pornography is illegal. The website, which initially was free, became a subscription only entity.

On 3 June 2009 the government of India banned the site, something that instigated a debate on censorship and freedom of expression. Following the ban, the Savita Bhabhi site continues to be popular in India. According to Alexa, a subsidiary company of Amazon.com, the website is currently among the 100 most popular sites in India, and over 80% of the traffic to the site comes from here. The comic is printed in 10 different Indian languages, not counting English.
