Shriya Reddy, the VJ turned actress, has reportedly been finalized for role in the movie "Choli Ke Peeche". Shriya will appear opposite Irfan Khan. The movie is based on a novel by eminent Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi. The movie is to be directed by Italian director Italo Spinelli and tells the story of a tribal woman. The role of Shriya require nudity and some intimate scenes.
Previously, the role was offered to Nandana Sen who refused the offer saying, "It’s a powerful story and although I support it fully I feel the subject matter is such that the tribal girl's nudity cannot avoid becoming unintentionally voyeuristic and exoticised even though that is definitely not the objective."
Although the option of body double is always there, some sources have reported that the actress may really appear nude. Irfan Khan will be doing the role of a Bengali photographer and feels that with her sharp features Shriya is a better choice for the movie.
