Director tries acting fresh – actress screams
- 17.11.2006
A director who tried misbehaving with an actress got justly beaten up.
Tarun Gopi directed 'Thimiru.' Even at that time, he's supposed to have had his eye on Shreya Reddy who acted as a vamp in the film.
Saying he had an important role for her in the next film he was going to direct, he invited her to Green Park Hotel in Chennai for discussions. The PRO Chandru is supposed to have acted as messenger and he brought Shreya Reddy to the hotel at the time agreed upon.
Tarun Gopi had already downed a few drinks and when Shreya arrived, he's supposed to have blabbered a great deal. When Shreya told him what he said had no relevance to the film story, the director is supposed to have tried making passes at her and then kiss her.
As soon as Shreya understood the man's vile intentions, she screamed and tried to escape. The hotel employees rushed to the scene and threw the director out. It is said Shreya Reddy also punched the director and took out her anger.
