One top actress has already developed cold feet in accepting the role that requires some nudity.
Filmmaker Shaji Karun might be keeping his fingers crossed for his film ‘Suryamukhi’ which has been facing delays because no actress has yet given her nod to the role that will include a few nude scenes.
This time, Vidya Balan is said to be in the reckoning for the role which has previously been offered to Madhuri Dixit , who refused to do the same because of the demand of nudity.
‘Suryamukhi’ is about the legendary painter Raja Ravi Verma and his inspiration Sugunabai, who often posed clothes-less for the painter’s nude paintings.
Although Shaji Karun has made it clear that the nude scenes will be shot on the body-double and he might use other visual metaphors like nude paintings and shadows to depict nudity in the film, no actress has yet committed to the project out of fear of damage to her reputation.
Vidya Balan, the Lolita of Parineeta , has been stamped as a non-glamorous actress in the industry and to get rid of this label she might accept the role considering she may come into the league of top actresses as the same role was offered to one of the industry’s leading ladies.
