After Ganesh Acharya, This Director Rubbishes Tanushree Dutta’s Harassment Claims Against Nana Patekar

Tanushree Dutta made a major revelation yesterday as she came out to reveal that she underwent harassment during the shoot of her movie Horn Ok Pleaseeeee during the year 2008! And what shocked us the most was that the actress accused the senior actor Nana Patekar of harassment! Also, a senior journalist came out in her support saying she was a witness to the incident! After Tanushree had made such claims, famous choreographer Ganesh Acharya, whose name was also in the list of people that Ms.Dutta had spoken out about, came to Nana’s aid. He refuted all that Tanushree said and here another director supporting Nana!

Rakesh Sarang, the director said, “Tanushree Dutta is saying that Nathni Utaro [the title of the song] was a solo dance that she rehearsed for. In that case, she must have heard the song during the rehearsals itself. Why doesn’t she remember that the song had a male voice too? It was always supposed to be a duet song.”

“She misjudged Nana’s encouragement. He was shooting for a song after many years, so he was excited about it. She misjudged everything, including his encouragement. See, if your boss wants to flirt with you, he won’t do it in a public area; he will invite you to his cabin. There were around 400 people on the set that day. Will anybody take advantage in front of 400 people?”, added the Director.

Responding to Tanushree Dutta claiming harassment over Nana Patekar he said, “The incident was resolved by CINTAA (Cine and Television Artistes Association). We conceded to her demands. Now if she is bringing it up, I think Nana can seek legal recourse.”
