Is it Anand Deverakonda in that nude scene?

Anand Deverakonda, the younger brother of Vijay Deverakonda, today debuted with the film ‘Dorasaani’.  Set in the late 1980s, the film features him in the role of a poor guy who falls in love with the daughter of the village’s most powerful and ruthless person, the ‘dora’.  

In one of the scenes, Anand’s character is shown in a nude pose.  His back is exposed.  You have to watch the film to know in what context the moment comes and why it had to be there.  

The question now is, was it done by a dupe or did Anand do it himself to ensure authenticity?  It will be quite interesting to listen to what the newcomer has to say.  The youngster definitely has delivered a very good performance in the film, whether or not the nude shot was done by him or a body-double.  

Starring Shivathmika Rajasekhar, it has been written and directed by debutant KVR Mahendra.
