Chennai: Popular actor Shreya, who played the lead role opposite superstar Rajnikanth in the magnum opus Sivaji-The Boss, has courted controversy from a Hindu outfit for her indecent attire during a function in the city.

After training its guns on actor Khushboo for sitting cross-legged during a muhurat of a film recently, the Hindu Makkal Katchi (HMK) had filed a police complaint against Shreya, seeking a legal action.

In his petition, HMK Chennai District President Ramamurthy claimed that during a function to celebrate the silver jubilee of Sivaji-The Boss held at the University Centenary Auditorium on January 11, Shreya had dressed in a manner that offended Hindu culture.

"We have given a community service register against the petition and will probe the case," police sources said.
