Raja

in

She
admits
doing
nude
scenes
is
a
huge
responsibility
and
she
had
talked
it
out
with
her
parents
before
giving
her
nod.
After
remaining
in
the
cans
for
more
than
five
years,
the
period
drama,
based
on
Ranjit
Desai's
novel
titled
"Raja

will
unfold
riots
of
colours
and
passion
on

with
Randeep

in
the
role
of
the
father
of
modern
Indian
art,
and
Nandana
as
his
creative
inspiration.
The

is
set
to
revisit
an
era
that
was
revolutionized
by
the
painter
who
not
only
gave
faces
to
gods
and
goddesses
in
his
work,
but
also
painted
nudes.
As
the
muse,
Nandana
have
done
some
bold
scenes
in
the
intense
love
story
and
she
says
that
"nudity
is
a
complicated
issue."
"It
is
something
one
need
to
think
about
a
lot.
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
discussing
it
with
my
patents,
family
before
making
the
decision
to
do
the
part.
The
reason
is
not
that
I
was
afraid.
When
an
artist
decides
to
embrace
nudity,
it
is
a
big
responsibility.
If
nudity
is
portrayed
with
beauty
and
aesthetically,
then
it's
fine," added
the
actress.
She
admits
that
it
was
not
an
easy
decision.
"It
was
not
an
easy
decision
for
me.
I
had
long
conversations
as
I
wanted
my
parents
to
give
me
their
thoughts
on
the
scenes.
They
are
connected
to
art
and
culture.
They
were
excited
about
the
script.
They
support
me
and
by
the
time
I
said
yes,
I
had
over
come
all
the
fears,"
she
added.
Talking
about
her
character
in
the
film
she
said:
"I
am
playing
Sugandha
who
is
a
combination
of
strength
and
softness
and
this
is
what
makes
her
Ravi
Varma's
muse."
