Reema offended by posters of Ilavarasi

Reema Sen is one feisty actress who will not be exploited. A furor was created recently, when steamy posters of the actress appeared all over the town showing her reclining on a bed with her bare back turned towards the camera and her face half turned towards it.



This poster was part of a publicity campaign for a film called Ilavarasi, which was being promoted as a sleazy porno film.



When Reema heard about it, she was furious.



Apparently, Ilavarasi is the dubbed version of a Bengali film called Iti Srikantha which she had done in 2004, directed by Anjan Das.



Iti Srikantha does have some intimate scenes but the script which was a strong one demanded those scenes. The film was critically appreciated and even won two national awards.

Reema said that when taken out of the proper context even classy fare can come across as cheap and sleazy. She has decided to take action however and has threatened to sue the producers to the tune of several crores if they do not have the posters removed at once. The producers have given in and have had the offending posters removed.

Reema's explicit scenes in Ilavarasi

Bollywood actress Reema Sen will be seen in Ilavarasi, the Tamil version of her 2004 Bengali film Iti Srikanta.

Reema plays a sex worker in the film who was sold off by her parents to a wealthy landlord.

The movie was in news for its explicit sex scenes when it was released in Bengali.

The film has also bagged awards for Sound Effects and Art Direction.

The pretty actress, who made her debut with Chitram, has done movies in various languages like Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada and Malayalam.

Ilavarasi, which has got an A certificate due to its bold scenes, is set to hit the theatres soon.

Where is Reema?

Reema Sen's last film in Tamil was Aayirathil Oruvan. Her bold performance was the talk of the town. Drained by the effort, she took a break from cinema and simply chilled out for a bit. After that she signed on a Telugu film with three newcomers and is currently shooting for it in Malaysia.

Bollywood also came calling and the feisty actress was roped in for Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur with Manoj Bajpai which will be released in two parts. The latest on Reema is that she will be acting opposite Mamooty and Suresh Gopi in the Malayalam film, King and the Commissioner.

We hope to see her soon in Tamil films.

Big Project ?

Reemma Sen has been lying low for a while after the good response to her role in Aayirathil Oruvan. There was some speculation that she was going to get married and quit acting but the actress has simply denied it as rumors.

Word on the grapevine is that she has been roped in to do a big project in Telugu directed by hit machine, VN Aditya, and this film is to be produced by D Rama Naidu. This will be a heroine-oriented, breezy entertainer with three fresh faces who will be vying for her attention.

Reemma Sen is also in demand in Tamil and Malayalam cinema and top producers are approaching her hoping that she will green light their projects.
