The actress’ complaint registered on October 6 read, “I, Tanushree Dutta, aged 34 Year, Residing at above mentioned address
along with my family members. I hereby lodge my complaint for registration
of FIR under section-354, 354(A), section-34 and section-509 of IPC (Indian
Penal Code) against Nana Patekar, Ganesh Acharya, producer Samee Siddiqui,
director Rakesh Sarang and MNS Party Workers.
I am in this film industry as an actress since 14 years.
From, 23th March-26th March 2008, I was shooting for a song in the film
"Horn Ok Pleaseee" at Filmistan Studio-3, Goregaon West. The
song was choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, the director of the movie was Rakesh
Sarang and producer, Samee Siddiqui and actor Nana Patekar.”
It further stated, “This song was supposed to be a solo
song picturised on me only. Nana Patekar having only one line in the entire
song, which was not a part of my choreography rehearsals which took place
on 17th, 18th and 20th March 2008 at Shrique Hall under the supervision of
choreographer Ganesh Acharya. Before the shoot, I had clearly mentioned that, I
will not enact and/or perform any lewd or vulgar or uncomfortable steps in the
particular song. On the 4th day of the shoot, 26th March 2008, while the shoot was
going on Nana Patekar's behaviour was inappropriate towards me. He was on
the set despite his work in the song being over and he was grabbing me by the
arms and pushing me around on the pretext of teaching me how to dance. When he
was touching indecently and unnecessary then I felt very uncomfortable because
of his behaviour and I felt he has outraged my modesty I felt embarrassed.
He told the choreographer and the other junior artists to back away so that he
could teach me the dance steps even though he was not the choreographer and he
was not required during the choreography as per my previous rehearsals. This
behaviour was not natural and I did not feel comfortable about it. And his
part of song was supposed to be performed by him alone and according to
producer and director it should have been done on the very first day of
shoot i.e on 23rd March, 2008.”
A Copy Of FIR Lodged by Tanushree Dutta
“I complained regarding his behaviour to the
producer, director and the choreographer on the same day. I was hoping that
they would communicate and take some action. They also assured me that
everything will be fine, but an hour or so later when I was called back on the
set from my van for rehearsals, I was informed choreographer Ganesh
Acharya that new steps have been added in the dance sequence which were
intimate and included Nana Patekar touching me in an inappropriate way. After I
refused to do the steps, I was being forced and pressurised by the producer,
director and choreographer to perform these new additional inappropriate dance
steps while Nana Patekar was still on the set and was aware of the conversation
and the problem going on. At this point of time because I refused to perform
the dance steps as I was not comfortable with steps, same time I was...” the
statement read.
