Mumbai/IBNS: #BoycottRadhikaApte trended on Twitter Friday after Indian actor Radhika Apte's nude picture from film Parched resurfaced on the micro-blogging site.

Several Twitterati targeted Radhika for allegedly going against the Indian tradition.

One user with Twitter name Its Vikarama Aditya says, "Their movies are so bad that I can't even put a photo video. The issue is that they have spread obscenity, boycott them in the interest of the country."

Parched, a 2015 film, is a story of four women in a desert village of the Indian state of Gujarat.

Apart from Radhika, the film starred Tannishtha Chatterjee, Surveen Chawla, Adil Hussain, Lehar Khan and Sayani Gupta.

The filmmakers showed frontal nudity involving Radhika in a few scenes in the film, which had attracted controversy even during the release.
