Karishma Tanna makes a noise down South

Mahesh H (BOMBAY TIMES; March 22, 2011) Karishma Tanna may be forgotten in tellyland, but the girl is managing to create a buzz down South. She is starring in actor Prem’s upcoming film I’m Sorry… Matte Banni Preethsona and there’s already a controversy brewing. First, stills from the film were leaked showing Prem and actress Karishma in what seemed to be a kissing scene. Then, director R Ravindra alleged that Karishma refused to promote the film. The actress, however, claims that she was misled about her role in the film and is miffed about reports saying that she is not its lead heroine. She has now sent Ravindra a legal notice demanding that he show her the film before its theatrical release. “Yes, I have sent Ravindra a legal notice through my lawyer after I came to know that I’m not the heroine of the film as earlier agreed upon by the director. If he doesn’t agree to those terms, I’ll drag him to court,” says Karishma.

According to the actress, when Ravindra approached her with the script, she was told that she would be playing the lead in the film. “Now I want to know whether my character is the same as what the director narrated to me before we started shooting. I don’t know what happened to him as I didn’t do anything wrong. After we finished shooting, he started avoiding me and stopped responding to my calls.”

Karishma also maintains that she is more than willing to promote the film. More >
