Even before the online furore over director Geetu Mohandas’ Toxic character teaser could die down, Malayali audiences have found something new to go after. This time, it is the turn of actress Rajisha Vijayan, whose first ever ‘special number’ Komala Thaamara from Masthishka Maranam came out a day ago. The song has Rajisha kitted out in a typical ‘item number’ outfit – a barely there blouse, low-waist lehenga – with the chest and hip thrusts associated with such songs.
While the initial reaction was surprise that Rajisha had done such a number, and many were appreciative of her look and dance in the lyrical video version, although the song itself did not work for most, as time went by, the comments on social media became about the changeover she’s had. Netizens had dug up an old interview of the actress with a Malayalam FM channel, during which she had addressed the idea of item numbers and how she would never do anything that objectifies the human body.
“I am not interested in item songs, the lyrics, the moves, the zooming in and out on the midriff, etc., basically anything that objectifies the body,” she had said. Resharing this clip, netizens trolled the actress remarking that this is exactly how one should stick to their words. “Chechiyalle paranje item dance kalikilla enn,” wrote a netizen. “If Rajisha says something, there’s no two ways about it,” mocked another. “Rajisha, who once said she would not show her body is now showing everything,” was also a commonly seen comment, besides those that said that the actress probably forgot she’d given such an interview.
Rajisha, who was last seen in Mammootty’s Kalamkaval, has been dropping hints of her physical transformation on her social media handle for a while, with midriff baring images that received a lot of praise. In fact, most of the comments about Komala Thaamara continue to be complimentary in nature.
