Forthcoming
Kannada
movie
Mysore
Mallige
landed
in
troubled
waters
when
the
movie
stills
were
released.
The
raunchy
and
dare-bare
photos
had
drawn
criticisms
from
literary
world.
For
newcomers,
Mysore
Mallige
was
a
classic
film
and
it
is
considered
as
one
of
the
best
screen
adaptation
from
a
literary
work.
It
was
based
on
the
poems
of
KS
Narasimhaswamy
and
had
portrayed
rural
life
and
the
pre-independence
movement.
KS
Narasimhaswamy's
collection
of
poems
inspired
the
film
Mysore
Mallige,
which
the
critics
lauded
then.
The
movie,
which
was
made
in
1992,
had
won
several
awards.
Now,
the
latest
movie
coming
up
with
the
same
title
did
not
go
well
with
a
section
of
people,
and
TS
Nagabharana,
who
shared
his
unhappiness
over
naming
the
forthcoming
film
as
Mysore
Mallige.
The
content
of
the
latest
movie
raised
questions
as
it
appeared
like
a
B-grade
masala
film.
However,
Roopa
Nataraj,
the
lead
actress
of
the
film,
has
come
out
to
clarify
about
her
Mysore
Mallige.

Roopa
Nataraj
Speaks
According
to
Roopa
Nataraj,
Mysore
Mallige
is
more
than
just
a
glamour.
The
film
sends
a
strong
message
to
the
society.
Message-Oriented
Movie
"It
is
about
an
independent
woman,
who
faces
challenges
in
life.
She
conveys
a
strong
message
to
the
society," the
Times
of
India
quotes
Roopa
Nataraj
as
saying.
Romantic
Vs
Sensuous
While
the
classic
was
a
romantic
movie
and
was
a
clean
film,
the
latest
film,
which
is
said
to
be
inspired
by
the
earlier
flick,
seems
to
be
sensuous.
Roopa
Nataraj
Goes
Bold
Roopa
Nataraj
will
be
seen
in
bold
avatars
in
the
photos
of
Mysore
Mallige.
She
has
sported
naughty
expressions
on
her
face
and
revealing
outfits.

Krishna.
He
has
written
the

screenplay
and
dialogues

movie.
The
director
says,
"Mysore
Mallige
is
about
an
innocent
girl,
who

tough
time

whether
a
woman
in
society
gets
the
right
share
to
live
or
not."
