Earlier, there was confusion about the identity of the woman in the teaser, with reports incorrectly naming another actress. Later, director Geetu Mohandas revealed on her social media that she was Beatriz Taufenbach.
Complaint filed with KSWC
The controversy gained momentum after the women’s wing of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) filed a complaint with the Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSWC). As per reports, AAP state secretary Usha Mohan alleged that the teaser has "obscene and explicit content" that harms the social well-being of women and children and insults Kannada culture.
Soon after, the KSWC wrote to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), requesting "appropriate action." Besides this, social activist Dinesh Kallahalli also separately submitted a complaint to the CBFC, objecting to the "obscene, sexually explicit and morally offensive scenes" in the teaser.
However, the CBFC reportedly cleared that the teaser released on YouTube does not fall under the board’s certification jurisdiction, as CBFC certification is mandatory only for films and trailers intended for theatrical release.
