In a dramatic turn of events, popular actress sai pallavi has been caught up in a legal storm after a Chennai-based student filed a petition against the makers of the movie Amaran. The petitioner claims that his personal phone number was used in the film without consent, causing him undue harassment and disruption in his life.
The student alleges that ever since the film's release, he has been inundated with countless calls and messages from strangers. He argues that this blatant invasion of his privacy has not only caused immense mental agony but has also impacted his daily life. As a result, he has demanded that the filmmakers compensate him with a hefty sum of Rs. 1.1 crore for damages.
Adding fuel to the controversy, the student has reportedly asked the court to intervene and halt the release of the movie if his demands are not met. This has sent shockwaves through the film industry, with many questioning how such a glaring oversight could occur in the age of stringent privacy laws.
sai pallavi, who plays a significant role in the film, has been inadvertently dragged into the controversy. While sources close to the actress suggest that she has no direct involvement in the issue, her association with the movie has led to her being named in the case, further complicating the matter.
Industry Divided Over the Incident
The incident has sparked a debate within the film fraternity. Critics argue that the use of real phone numbers in films without consent is a careless mistake that could have serious legal consequences. On the other hand, some industry insiders believe that the responsibility lies solely with the production team and not the actors involved.
Legal Implications
Legal experts suggest that this case could set a precedent for similar grievances in the future. They emphasize the importance of filmmakers ensuring that such sensitive details, including phone numbers, are either fictionalized or authorized before being used on screen.
As the case gains traction, fans of sai pallavi and the film’s crew are left awaiting further developments. Whether the makers of Amaran will settle the issue out of court or face a prolonged legal battle remains to be seen.
This controversy underscores the growing need for accountability and privacy safeguards in creative industries, reminding filmmakers that even the smallest details can have far-reaching consequences.
