Very
often
we
see
controversy
surrounding
a
film
or
celebrity.
In
the
age
of
TV
channels
and
new-age
internet
media,
many
take
this
platform
to
get
popularity
and
to
promote
their
agenda
by
being
in
the
news
for
wrong
reasons.
However,
not
all
are
same
and
some
does
not
believe
in
getting
negative
publicity
for
the
sake
of
being
in
news.
Last
week,
we
witnessed
a
drama
on
television
from
nowhere
when
a
fake
nude
video
of
actress
Rishika
Singh
drew
public
attention.
The
director
and
the
producer
SK
Basheed
was
accused
of
taking
a
cheap
route
to
promote
their
film
Benki
Birugaali.
This
made
the
actress
to
file
a
complaint
against
him
for
uploading
it
on
YouTube.
It
came
as
a
surprise
to
many
as
Rishika
Singh
had
sported
a
bold
avatar
for
their
dropped
film
Yaaredre
Nanagenu.
The
film
had
created
a
big
controversy
in
2011
when
the
film
was
announced
as
several
woman
groups
objected
seeing
Rishika
Singh
in
a
near-nude
state
in
the
poster
of
the
film.
Interestingly,
the
actress
had
defended
back
then
claiming
that
she
was
not
nude
rather
the
actress
sported
the
costume
that
appeared
like
she
was
naked.
SK
Basheed,
who
knew
the
popularity
of
those
posters,
used
to
promote
his
latest
film
Benki
Birugali,
and
to
defame
the
actress
for
the
reasons
best
known
to
him.

It
is
an
one-minute
plus
video
where
Rishika
Singh
will
be
seen
romancing
actor-director
SK
Basheed.
She
will
be
seen
rolling
around
on
sand,
in
a
near-nude
state.

According
to
Rishika,
SK
Basheed
has
stooped
low
and
morphed
video
to
attract
audience.
"It
was
not
me
in
the
obscene
video
clip
and
the
director
has
doctored
the
video
for
his
personal
gain," Rishika
claims.

"SK
Basheed
has
morphed
the
video
and
spreading
it
on
social
networking
sites
and
video-sharing
site
YouTube
to
drive
audience
to
theatres.
The
director
has
also
threatened
me
with
dire
consequences," she
adds.

"I
have
filed
a
case
of
defamation
and
criminal
intimidation
requesting
the
police
to
take
action
against
him," she
said.
On
the
other
end,
SK
Basheed
admitted
uploading
unedited
video
scenes
of
Benki
Birugaali
and
denied
uploading
the
sequences
from
Yaaredre
Nanagenu.

Is
it
a
publicity
stunt
to
promote
Benki
Birugali
or
is
it
a
desperate
attempt
to
pull
audience
to
theatre
by
SK
Basheed
is
a
mystery
to
be
solved
yet.
Is
Rishika
Singh
serious
about
the
issue?
Is
she
innocent?
Only
her
moves
in
the
issue
in
the
coming
days
will
decide.
Nonetheless,
the
film
has
started
getting
audience
as
the
obscene
video
is
hit
on
internet.
