The Story in Brief
Actress Mounika Reddy has said she backed out of Nani's upcoming film The Paradise after being uncomfortable with the profanity in the script. In a recent interview, Reddy said she was shocked when she received the script and noticed the strong language in the scene she was asked to perform. Though she tried to deliver the lines, she could not bring herself to say them, describing the script as containing a large number of harsh expletives. The film, directed by Srikanth Odela, stars Kayadu Lohar as the female lead and Mohan Babu in a key role. Its teaser has already hinted at intense violence.
The Indian Opinion
The usual hand-wringing over 'bold content' in Telugu cinema misses the point. An actor has every right to refuse a role that clashes with their personal comfort, that is professional boundary-setting, not a judgment on the film. But calling the film's language 'excessive' based on one audition scene is premature. The Paradise's teaser promised a raw world; let the full censor certificate and the final cut reveal whether the profanity serves the story or is mere shock value.
