Nandana Sen's NUDE Scene in Rang Rasiya passed by Indian Censor Board.

Nandana Sen creates history as her controversial topless scene in her upcoming film Rang Rasiya has been approved by the Indian censor board!

The film Rang Rasiya is about legendary painter Raja Ravi Verma played by Randeep Hooda and his muse Sugandha played by Nandana. Sugandha used to pose nude for Verma.

The film required scenes of frontal nudity and Nandana’s nude scenes are very crucial to the film’s narrative. Nandana’s nude scenes form “the very core of the film” probably thats why it narrowly escaped the Censor’s scissors.

Nandana confirms the news and says, “I’m not surprised by the decision at all. That scene forms the very core of the film. Rang Rasiya is itself about censorship of art. The political and emotional drama in the film revolves entirely around that particular scene, making it absolutely essential to the narrative.”

The Censor board must have approved the scenes but there are several question unanswered. Will the people accept it? Does this approval indicate that the Indian audiences have come of age to view frontal nudity on the screens?

Well only time will tell.

Non-bailable Warrant issued against Suniel Shetty

A court here Wednesday issued a non-bailable warrant against Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty for not appearing before it in a case filed by a local businessman for dishonoured cheque for Rs.1 million. Subash Gulati, owner of Empire Store in sector 17, filed the complaint against Shetty in 2005 alleging that a cheque issued by Shetty's company had bounced.

Shetty had sought exemption from personal appearance in the case, but the court rejected the plea. The court of Judicial Magistrate Manisha Jain has issued a non-bailable warrant for Dec 23 appearance by Shetty. On Shetty's petition earlier, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had stayed the trial court proceedings. During the last hearing, however, the high court vacated the stay and asked Shetty to appear before the court Wednesday.
