The mayor of Mumbai, Sunil Prabhu, has ordered the removal of promotional posters from public buses in India’s entertainment capital after a local legislator complained the image used was obscene, the Press Trust of India reported. The advertisement shows a naked woman reclining suggestively under a sheer, wet sheet, although the model is not 31-year-old Leone, who has no previous experience of mainstream cinema or theater.

Earlier in the week, protesters in northwest Amritsar burned an effigy of Leone in anger at the film’s alleged vulgarity, while a resident of the holy city of Varanasi has reportedly asked a court to put a stay order on the film.

Leone told entertainment channel Star World that she had had to adapt to the demands of mainstream cinema and its more sophisticated choreography, particularly for love scenes.

“It was so complicated. In my world, it’s turn the camera on and go,” she told interviewer Anupama Chopra according to a transcript released to the media.

“Yes, the promos may have given an indication of a sex-laden film but inherently it is a dramatic thriller. Wait for some surprises,” she said.
