Well...when all B-Town celebs are upto some or the other international project, it's something unexpected from someone like Nandana Sen who has recently refused one.

Nandana has done some dare-bare scenes in the past. But the lady refused to sign an international project to be directed by Italian director Italo Spinelli because she needed to do some bold scenes.

Nandana's nix to do this film, which required her to bare her skin once again was somewhat contradictory.The film is based on eminent Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi's short story 'Behind the Bodice' (Choli ke Picche). Nandana was approached for playing a tribal woman of 1950's era when poor rural women used to just wrap sari on their body without a blouse.

The project is a desirable one for her, but Nandana's apprehension for the film was evident with this quoted statement, "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 exoticized even though that is definitely not the objective."


Or may be the actress doesn't want to indulge in nudity anymore.

Another film i.e. Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya is the one in which she plays the muse of legendary painter Raja Ravi Verma, played by Randeep Hooda and poses nude for his paintings. And since the movie deals with the subject of censorship of art, nudity was at the very core of the film. Nandana's scenes in the yet-to-be released film are not obscene and were shot aesthetically.

The actress had showed her bareback in the movie Tango Charlie too.
