New York - 'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson is reportedly going topless in a scene from her upcoming film 'Regression'.

The drama, which co-stars Meryl Streep and Ethan Hawke, tells the story of a father arrested for sexually abusing his daughter (Watson), reported the New York Daily News.

Watson, 24, has recently made some deliberate career choices to move away from her iconic 'Harry Potter' character, including the brainy teen wizard Hermione, the Biblical epic 'Noah' and her upcoming political drama 'Colonia Dignidad'.

The actress made headlines this year when she delivered a widely acclaimed speech about feminism at a United Nations meeting in September. PTI
