A scantily clad actress posing seductively with Christian religious symbols has led to some trouble for the upcoming Sanjay Dutt starrer Policegiri. One of the stills of the movie reportedly has actress Kavitta Verma posing provocatively with a rosary and cross. This has led to protests by some Christian groups. Within days, father-son producer duo TP and Rahul Aggarwal met representatives of the community and assured them that Policegiri had no such stills or scenes. The blame was put squarely on the young actress for committing the blasphemy in a bid to promote herself. A demure and fully covered up Verma sat in on the meeting and tendered a signed apology to Joseph Dias, founder of The Catholic-Christian Secular Forum, which led the protest. Verma wrote that she ‘made a mistake’ and promised ‘to use religious objects in a reverential manner in the future.’’
