On Wednesday, Tanushree said in a statement that she has received legal notices from Agnihotri and Nana Patekar.
It all started when earlier in an interview with Zoom Tv, Tanushree Dutta made accusations on Nana Patekar for misbehaving and sexually harassing her while shooting, on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss during 2008. In another statement, she mentioned about an incident happened while shooting for movie Chocolate in 2005, which was directed by Vivek Agnihotri. According to her, director asked her to remove clothes and give cues to Irrfan Khan, which never happened due to mediation from her co-stars Irrfan and Suniel Shetty.
