Nudity aur Bharat desh mein? Sure, why not? Newbie Kyra Dutt has signed a nudity clause for Ekta Kapoor’s bold and upcoming XXX. That basically means Dutt is up for shooting explicit sexual scenes, even if it requires her to go nude in a full frontal.
Though Bollywood has only seen a few bold performances in the past- Mandakini in Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985), Mallika Sherawat in Murder (2004) and more recently Sunny Leone in Ragini MMS 2 (2014), this is the first time a legal clause has been put down on paper.
Whether Kyra’s nudity makes it through the censor board is a different story altogether.
Sunny Leone was the first choice for the film but not the final one. The 24 year old Dutt hails from Kolkata and was discovered at the Kingfisher Model hunt in 2013. Though her sex appeal might be her current highlight, the aspiring actress pulls of the girl-next-door look quite well on her Facebook profile!
To bare it all, one certainly needs the confidence that Kyra seems to have in her director Ken Ghosh, according to what she told Mumbai Mirror
I’m extremely confident about my body and I know nothing can go wrong with a nude scene when you trust your director completely. Ken is a cinematographer and editor first and I know I am in safe hands.

Along with XXX, she’s also a part of Madhur Bhandarkar’s Calendar Girls. With that body and that confidence Kyra is likely to make Bollywood sit up and take notice.
