Kannada actress accuses director of slapping her

Bangalore, December 11: Kannada actress Aindhritha Rai has accused well known director Nagathihalli Chandrashekar of slapping her during a recent film shoot in Hong Kong, a charge dismissed by the filmmaker as one made with “a hidden agenda.”

The up and coming actress in a complaint to Film Chamber and Producers’ Association, alleged that the director slapped her without any provocation on her left ear, which left her unable to hear clearly.

Claiming that the incident took place while shooting “Nooru Janmaku Nooraru Janmaku” in Hong Kong on December 6, she alleged that Chandrashekar had behaved indecently with her in the past too.

But rubbishing her charge, Chandrashekar told PTI, “I am the last person to slap anybody. I am the first to respect women. I have always condemned people who misbehave with women.I think she has a hidden agenda. She is twisting the story.
