Shekhar angry with Nayanthara Director Shekhar Kammula, publicly expressed his displeasure with the lead actress of Anaamika, Nayanthara at the audio launch of the movie on Tuesday at a star hotel in Hyderabad.
Nayanthara was conspicuous by her absence at the audio launch and the makers are understandably annoyed with her because Anaamika is a heroine-centric film and her absence is similar to a bridegroom not turning up for his engagement ceremony.
'She has not turned up for the audio function and I am angry with her,' said Shekhar Kammula.
He also said, ' The producers approached me to remake Anaamika. Contrary to perception, I did not lobby for the project. Nayanthara as the female lead was also not my choice, she was the choice of the producers.'
Shekhar Kammula has the reputation of being a dignified and a non-controversial person. He has given a break to many actors and actresses in the industry and has never spoken ill of any of them.
Hence, it was surprising to see him criticize his heroine. But then, which director wouldn't be angry if his heroine fails to turn up for such an important function, especially a female-centric film?
