Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh grabbed headlines when he went nude for a scene in Madhur Bhandarkar's upcoming film 'Jail'.

Bhandarkar, who is known for his hard hitting films, has already experimented with male sexuality in 'Page-3' and 'Fashion' and with 'Jail' he has gone a step further.

The three-times national award winning director believes that the Indian audiences are mature enough to accept male nudity if shown in an aesthetic manner.

"Why can not a nude scene be part of our films if the script requires so. World cinema and Hollywood films have had actors shedding their clothes according to requirements of the story," Bhandarkar told PTI from Karjat where he is currently shooting for the film.

'Jail' sees Neil play a prisoner and the naked scene comes as a part of a torture sequence where his character is told to strip off by the policemen.

"The scene was not an attempt to shock anyone. It is an integral part of the film. It was not an easy one to shoot but I have tried my best to depict it in an very stylised and aesthetic fashion. It is not a typical nude scene," Bhandarkar said.
