Pooja Gandhi's bare back scene in the upcoming Kannada movie 'Dandupalya' has become a talk of the town. Not only in the Sandalwood, her bold act has drawn attention from other film industries too. However, the actress is not worried about criticism and claims that she feels no harm in going nude.“
I have done a bareback scene in Dandupalya. Haven’t Rekha, Shabana Azmi, Smitha Patil and Vidya Balan done this before? Then, why people are making a big issue out of my bold scene,” quipped Pooja Gandhi adding “I don't regret this or feel awkward about the sequence.”Pooja also slammed people who play a discrimination game as she said "People have no problem if the nude act has been done by a Bollywood actress but if an actress from Sandalwood does nude acts she has been criticized."
The forthcoming Kannada movie 'Dandupalya' is based on the real life incidents of the notorious gang named Dandupalya – a name of a village situated on the Bangalore-Chennai National Highway four. The story revolves around the gang and its leader Lakshmi spreading terror in and around Bangalore by robbing people slitting the throats of women & the aged.
The scene in question is a recreation of an interrogation that Lakshmi, who was a member of the dreaded Dandupalya gang, was subjected to. "Srinivas showed me the footage of the actual interrogation of Lakshmi when she was questioned by the police, along with other men from the gang. Even the male stars in the film had to shed their clothes for this scene," explained Pooja.
