Or so says the film's heroine Sanjjanaa. Trouble has come in the form of a scene in which the villain rips her top to harm her. "In the scene, the villain stabs me and almost slits open my stomach to physically harm me. To give audiences the impression that he's pulled off my top, the director got me to wear a skin-colour (nude) corset under a green top. For added effect, my upper body is graphically blurred to give the impression that I am topless. Various websites and tabloids have been going to town saying that I have gone topless in a Telugu movie. I have not. I'm not topless," clarifies the actress.
What's irked Sanjjanaa is that the reports are making a big deal out of nothing. "If I were really that bold and wanted to put my assets on display, I wouldn't want any blurring done. But I'm not like that. Even if I were to get a role opposite the biggest actor in the world, I would never bare all. I'm not so desperate for attention to have to stoop to that level," she asserts and adds, "What's worse is that this scene is neither sexy nor hot; nor is there harassment like rape or molestation. So where's the need to make such a hue and cry about it?"
But could it be that Sanjjanaa's bold image (courtesy her role in Ganda Hendthi and Boyfriend, which that was a remake of the Hindi film Murder) is the reason people assume that she may have actually gone topless? "As an actress, I have grown and moved on from those days. Ganda Hendthi... was a mistake I made when I was young and naive. I don't even want to talk about it. If anyone thinks I have the image of a 'bold' actress, it may be in the Kannada film industry, not in Tollywood, where I made my debut opposite Puri Jagannath in a girl-next-door role," adds the actress.
And while she battles this new controversy, Sanjjanaa is also busy wrapping up her Kannada project I Am Sorry... Mathe Banni Preethsona. "I am Sorry... is shaping up well and should release soon. We're shooting a few songs that are being choreographed by Arvind, who's worked with Master Remo. He's really making me sweat," she laughs.
