Mohini Says She Was Forced Into Swimsuit Sequence in 1994 Tamil Film Kanmani

She cites production pressure as a key factor in agreeing to a pool sequence she says she never consented to.

Overview

  • In a new Aval Vikatan interview reported by Indian Express and News18, the actor recounts resisting a swimsuit shoot tied to the song Udal Thazhuva.
  • She says director RK Selvamani planned the sequence and that she cried and refused, which halted filming for half a day.
  • Mohini says she eventually performed for part of a day but later refused a planned reshoot of the same scene in Ooty.
  • She explains she did not know how to swim and would not learn half-dressed before male instructors, noting the near absence of female trainers at the time.
  • She adds Kanmani was the only film where she appeared overly glamorous without her consent and that attention to the steamy song overshadowed her role.
