The Tamil film Bad Girl didn’t make much noise at first, but one teaser turned everything around. Starring Anjali Sivaraman and directed by Varsha Bharath, the film is backed by Vetri Maaran and Anurag Kashyap. That combination alone raised eyebrows, but it was the teaser, bold and unapologetic, that made people take notice.

The teaser dropped ahead of the film’s screening at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. But instead of just building hype, it stirred controversy. Many people, especially on social media, criticised the way a Brahmin girl was shown in the film, choosing to live life her own way, including her personal choices about intimacy. Some felt it was a wrong portrayal, while others supported the bold storytelling.

Whatever the mixed reactions, the teaser gave the film unexpected publicity. Now, Bad Girl is ready to release in theatres on September 5. The censor board has given it a U/A certificate, clearing the way for a heated release weekend.

The film stars Shanthi Priya, Saranya Ravichandran, Hridhu Haroon, TeeJay Arunasalam, and Sashank Bommireddipalli. With big names backing it and controversy drawing attention, Bad Girl is heading to cinemas with much more buzz than expected.
