/> Shhhh. No one is supposed to know this. But Divya Dutt who plays a true-life political liaison in Sushen Bhatnagar's Monica is all set to do a semi-nude sequence.

All for a good cause, of course,

Says Divya, "Normally I wouldn't do such a scene for anyone. I earlier did another real-ife drama Trisha with the same director. So I know his level of commitment is genuine.

I play a character inspired from the headlines and this is a scene crucial to the narrative. So yes, I'll be going bare-backed for the camera for the first time," says Divya.

Though she refuses to give away any more details about the true-life antecedents of her part director Sushen Bhatnagar is far more fortright.

"Divya is playing a character inspired by Shivani Bhatnagar, the small-time girl who came into fame through her association with the late Pramod Mahajan.

Ashutosh Rana plays the politician who exploits her, uses her as his arm- candy to show off at parties.Isn't that what we all do with women at some point? And I'm not sparing the media either. My brother is a journalist.

So I've asked him to help me with the character of the journalist played by Rajit Kapoor who plays Julius Caesar on stage and talks about women's rights. But is unable to do anything to save my heroine Monica."

Bhatnagar has used a lot of Shakespearean elements to tell his headline-inspired scandalous tale of a small-town girl's rise to celebrity in political circles.

"I come from Lucknow. And I know a lot of such cases, like Madhumeeta the poetess who was allegedly used and killed by a local politician. My main contention is, why is ambition only for men?

Is it improper for women to be ambitious beyond a point? In Shakespeare Macbeth political ambition became a problem when Lady Macbeth acquired it."

Bhatnagar who earlier shot a film Trisha (again featuring Divya Dutt in the title role) based on a true incident knows there would be trouble over the real-life links of Monica.

"But there are stories that need to be told specially where girls from small towns are exploited for political expediency. Just because we ancticipate protests the cinema of social protest must not be allowed to die down."
