Producer
of DUSSEHRA Aparna Hoshing files Police Complaint against Director
Manish Vatsalya for harassment and threatening: Sacks Manish from the
project
The producer of Rash Production’s ‘DUSSEHRA’, Aparna Hoshing has filed a FIR against its director Manish Vatsalya in the Samta Nagar Police station Kandivali East, Mumbai on the 23rd
of September 2013. Prior to this she has also written to the Indian
Motion Picture Producers Association since July 2013. IMPAA has issued
several letters and notices to Manish which he has evaded and not
accepted. Dussehra stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Tennae Dessae, Govind
Namdeo, Manish Vatsalya, Murli Sharma and others.
Says
Aparna Hoshing “I signed Manish Vatsalya as a director for my film
titled “DUSSEHRA”, not because he was any known director or that I
earned huge profits in my previous venture JEENA HAIN TOH THOK DAAL with
him, but just because I gave him my word to do another project and had
faith in his ability. During the casting phase only I heard stories
about his casting couch offers to aspiring actress but could not believe
it. During the shoot again he was caught on several instances which
came to me as a rude shock. He would turn up on sets late, keeping
everyone waiting. For a 7 am shift he would turn up at 2 pm and would
come up with lame excuses. Later I learnt that Manish has kept a girl
for 50 days in his hotel room while we were shooting outdoor, even
though that girl had no reason to stay in our hotel. He was caught red
handed and he pleaded me not to excuse him once. Even though till then I
had incurred big losses as a producer due to his unprofessional
behavior, I gave him another chance and said now be professional and
complete the film. But in vain, he never changed, he claimed to have
signed 4-5 big films and said one film like “DUSSEHRA” can’t do anything
to his career”.
I
was shocked when a vendor of mine on condition of anonymity said that
Manish was asking for a “jhol” bribe for him. Looking at this
unprofessional and arrogant behavior of his, I sacked him as director of my film and told him that if he was
not interested, we would complete the film, with he being the namesake
director. My film had gone grossly over budget and the 65 day shoot had
got extended to 80 days. I have invested crores for this film and had to
take charge of this to complete the movie.”
Since
then I started receiving abusive calls from different landline numbers
on his behalf. His father started calling me and abusing me. He started
blackmailing me with good amount. I always tried to get away from these
things but now from last couple of days me, my associate director Tarun
Bisht and my writer Saurabh Choudhary have been receiving threatening
calls. I as a producer have no other way to see the safety of myself and
my team and hence have filed a police complaint against Mr. Manish
Vatsalya in Samta nagar police station for my safety and security.
