Risheeka Singh has come under fire for appearing naked in a poster for her latest film. Risheeka - who features in the publicity stills of her latest flick Yaaradre Nangenu caked in dry mud sans clothes - was pulled up by women activists at the muhurat of the film recently. Alleging that she was in the nude in the posters, the group said that the poster portrayed her in a bad light. The event had to be conducted under police protection to prevent any untoward incident from taking place in the presence of industry bigwigs like Ambareesh.
Risheeka remains unfazed by the unexpected turn of events and the flak she has received for her look. "The posters are a direct lift from the opening shot of Yaaradre Nangenu. In the scene, my character has been beaten up by the villains and, assuming that she's dead, they bury her in the deserts of Rajasthan. But I return to avenge my humiliation and exploitation. The still is from when I come out of the pit in which I was buried," says Risheeka.
Yaaradre Nangenu, adds Risheeka, is a woman-centric film and her family is proud of her role in it. "My director father Rajendra Singh Babu and my actor brother Aditya have given their consent. So why I should I care about what others think?" she asks and adds, "My team won't have hard feelings if the film gets an 'A' certificate because of the still. The script demands it, so it's completely justified," asserts Risheeka.
