Sunny Leone poster in cotton field draws crowds in Karnataka

Farmers across India often adopt creative methods to ward off the evil eye from their crops — from scarecrows to painted dolls. But a farmer in Mudanur village of Karnataka has taken an unusual approach that has become the talk of the region. To protect his cotton crop, the farmer put up a large poster of Bollywood actress Sunny Leone in the middle of his field. The poster, featuring the actress in a bright yellow outfit, has quickly drawn the attention of locals.
Soon after the poster went up, people — including Sunny Leone fans — began visiting the field out of curiosity, turning it into a mini attraction in the village. Residents say the poster has effectively diverted people’s attention from the crop, which is exactly what the farmer wanted.
The farmer reportedly believes the stunt will keep away jealous onlookers and safeguard his valuable harvest. His inventive method has sparked amusement and discussion among villagers, becoming a new example of India’s creative ways of warding off bad luck.
