The ‘Cemetery Girl’ Who Caught Global Attention

A brief yet striking scene featuring Yash and Brazilian model-actress Beatriz Taufenbach, set in a cemetery, became the teaser’s most discussed moment. As curiosity peaked, director Geetu Mohandas unveiled the mysterious presence as the "cemetery girl", pushing Taufenbach into sudden global focus.

From Curiosity to Criticism

What began as intrigue soon spiralled into controversy. Certain social activists and political groups branded the scene as "obscene" and "morally offensive", triggering formal complaints to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Complaints Reach Official Doors

Activist Dinesh Kallahalli formally urged the CBFC to review the teaser, arguing that such content was accessible without sufficient age warnings, potentially exposing minors to explicit visuals.

Political Pressure and Women’s Commission Involvement

Adding to the storm, the women’s wing of the Aam Aadmi Party’s Karnataka unit appealed to the Karnataka State Commission for Women, claiming the scene undermined women’s dignity and cultural values. The commission subsequently wrote to the CBFC, seeking action.
