About Bad Girl teaser
The teaser of 'Bad Girl' was unveiled at an event in Chennai on Sunday The film sees Anjali as Ramya, who always desired of having a boyfriend. However, she gets shamed for getting intimate with her boyfriend when she finds one. On the IFFR website, the film has been described as, "From her journey through high school and college, then out into the wider world, Ramya’s dream of finding the perfect guy is obstructed by societal mores, strict parents, unrequited love and the untrammelled chaos of her own mind, in Varsha Bharath’s naughty and affecting comedy.”
G Mohan bashes Bad Girl
The teaser has not been taken kindly by filmmaker G Mohan who is known for films like 'Draupathi' and 'Bakasuran'. He accused Vetrimaaran and Kashyap of bashing brahmins. "Portraying a brahmin girl personal life is always a bold and refreshing film for this clan. What more can be expected from vetrimaran, Anurag kasyap & Co.. Bashing Brahmin father and mother is old and not trendy.. Try with your own caste girls and showcase it to your own family first.”
