Ms Kyra Dutt apparently signed the full frontal nudity clause for an Ekta Kapoor film. The news made enough headlines and the same was the case with the apparently leaked video of Ms Radhika Apte.
Both the Ladies are free women and are at liberty to do whatever they please. So, it is again upto the censor board to decide what will pass muster and what doesn't. Why any Producer would need to have a full frontal nudity clause when the censor board does not permit it, is difficult to fathom. These people would now film explicit scenes just short of full nudity and then try to put pressure on censor board. I hope the censor board pre-empts such moves. Anyway this post is about the hue and cry being raised about the second lady's video.
The director says that it was artistically and sensitively shot as part of a larger film sequence and that particular shot must not be seen in isolation. I haven't seen the video (it has not come to me on whts app - i have a decently active network - i asked a few others who are fairly active - they haven't seen it either - some even asked who is radhika apte?!!!! - that is something i wonder myself - coz honestly i have not heard of her myself?!!! - so could this be another publicity stunt by somebody?? - I don't know so I would not comment!!!)
But honestly speaking, if you have made a 20 minute film then the audience has the right to see the film in entirety or watch the film in bits of even a few seconds. You can't dictate what to watch and what not to!! You can't really say that you can watch the frontal nudity scene only if you watch the full 20 minutes. It is not even a case of cheating/misrepresentation bcoz when the movie was shot - the lady agreed for frontal nudity and once the shot was canned - paying audience is free to watch it whenever and as many times as they want (if they wish to , at all) and whichever parts they want. One really can't be aggrieved about it.
The only real issue is that - it is not a legal release. That is something that the able people at the cyber crime department would surely take care. So, the case primarily is of film piracy and not much about frontal nudity.
