Actress Shruti Haasan, who plays a prostitute in D-Day, shot some bold scenes with Arjun Rampal for the film. She asserts that sensuality is a key element of her character and says it hasn’t been used just for titillation.

Directed by NIkhil Advani, D-Day is an espionage thriller due to release on July 19.

“I’m playing a prostitute in the film and sensuality is a key element. We’ve not done it for titillation or to show unnecessary scandal. The character is like that,” the 27-year-old actress said in an interview.

“If you do it the wrong way, then the audience and actors don’t like it, and the conviction is lost. It’s very much integral to the character. As an actor, I feel we get to express all the emotions and sensuality is a part of human emotion, so its very important,” she added.

The film also features Irrfan, Rishi Kapoor and Huma Qureshi in key roles.
