7 Oct – Malaysian actress, host and model, Neelofa's recent poster of her latest film, "Dollah Superstar" has caused confusion amongst some as it shows her wearing the hijab, while her appearance in the film is the total opposite exuding sexiness.

The shooting of "Dollah Superstar" was done before the actress started wearing the hijab, thus, Neelofa was condemned by the media and fans when she posted the altered version of the "Dollah Superstar" poster on her Instagram lately.

According to Berita Harian, Neelofa's manager, Shawn Amer explained, "The altered poster was used for promotional purposes on Neelofa's Instagram. We feel that it wouldn't be nice to use the original poster since the actress has already started to wear the hijab."

Apparently the shooting of the film was done years ago, way before the actress started wearing the hijab which was back in July of this year.

"This poster will be used for promotional events involving Neelofa across the nation. However, we also allow the producer to use the original poster to promote the film, we have absolutely nothing against this," said the manager.

Furthermore, Neelofa was also criticised for a particular scene in "Dollah Superstar" where she donned a tight red dress showing off her thighs as she sat on the main actor, Awie's lap seductively.
