PETALING JAYA (June 16, 2010): MALE nudity may be common in Hollywood flicks, but it is almost unheard of in the local movie scene. That may be about to change. Who better to break the taboo then controversial film producer Raja Azmi Raja Sulaiman, who has inserted a nude bathing scene featuring actor Arja Lee in her latest film "… Dalam Botol".
The movie, about a man who undergoes a sex-change operation to please his lover only to be ditched later, features Arja, whose real name is Azharudin Ramly and Wan Raja in the lead roles of Rubidin and Ghaush respectively.
If all goes well, Malaysian audiences will get to see Rubidin's buttocks as he takes a shower after undergoing sex-reassignment surgery.
There is a lingering shot of the rivulets of water running down Rubidin's newly-awakened body.
Of course, there is a strong possibility the scene may end up on the cutting floor courtesy of our ever-vigilant censorship board.
"I am keeping my fingers crossed that the censorship board will be open-minded and allow the scene to pass through without any hassle," says Raja Azmi in an exclusive interview Sun2Surf.
She points out that Yasmin Ahmad's "Gubra" briefly featured the butt of an extra who plays a hospital patient on screen, and this was allowed to be shown.
"That goes to show the censorship is becoming more liberal," Raja Azmi says.
"Besides, Hollywood movies have far more daring male nude scenes. What I am showing in my film is very tame (in comparison)."
Initially, the scene was shot with Arja wearing skin coloured briefs.
"We shot the bathing scene a few times," recalls Raja Azmi.
"But the scene did not look real. Besides, Arja was uncomfortable in the underwear and keep fidgeting.
So I jokingly told him to take off the briefs and shoot the scene, totally naked. To my surprise, he agreed."
Raja Azmi admits she really admired Arja's guts and commitment to the role.
"I was just joking and never expected he will do it. He was not shy at all. In fact the people on the set were more shy," she says with a laugh.
"... Dalam Bottle", which is directed by Khir Rahman, also features some steamy scenes between Rubidin and Ghaush.
During the rehearsals, the producer found the actors were very uncomfortable and awkward during the romantic scenes.
"I was extremely worried whether they could pull off playing lovers," she says.
But come time to shoot the scene, both Arja and Wan Raja rose to the occasion and shed their shyness.
"If any of the scenes get cut here, our efforts will not be totally wasted," she says philosophically.
"... Dalam Botol" is expected to be released at the end of the year. -- theSun
