Kannada actor Sanjjanaa Galrani is in the middle of a raging storm: A video clip of the Dandupalya 2, aka 2, actor being stripped by a man has found its way to the internet.

According to a report in bollywoodlife.com, the clip was to feature in the film but had to be dropped after the regional censor board objected to it. Dandupalya 2 released last week and is doing well in the theatres.

Reacting to the leak, Sanjjanaa said that the matter would be clarified by director Srinivasa Raju, once he is back in Bengaluru. Raju is currently in Hyderabad to promote the Telugu version of the film.

Speaking to Public TV, a Kannada news channel, Sanjjanaa said that the leak is not a publicity stunt. “Dandupalya is already doing well. So, there is no need for such publicity. We shot something and I am seeing something else here.”

The Kannada film is a sequel to 2012 film Dandupalya and is about a notorious gang from a village by the same name near Hoskote in Bengaluru.

Dandupalya 2 has been plagued by controversies in the past too. The said gang took the makers to court over the film’s content and had forced them to change the title of the film to ‘2’ from Dandupalya 2.

The film was again in news when Sanjjanaa raised an objection with the makers after Pooja Gandhi was given more importance than her. She chose to ignore being part of the film’s promotion as well.

Meanwhile, the film is doing well and is expected to do as well as the first part which released couple of years back. Part three of the film is also being planned.

The film also stars Pooja Gandhi, Makarand Deshpande and Prakash Raj.
