Ravichandran says actress should not have taken complaints against Nagathihalli to the media
Director and actor Ravichandran has made known his displeasure over actress Aindrita Ray going on prime time TV earlier this month with the now-famous slapgate story, in which she had accused director Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar of harassing her and hitting her on the sets of a film being shot in Macau.
Ravichandran was talking to the media about his current film Hoo (Flower) on its sets a couple of days ago when he was asked about star tantrums on film sets, and he cited the slap controversy and went on to blame Aindrita for devaluing the Kannada film industry with her reaction.
"Aindrita lowered the value of the industry by the way she went before the media, and then later going for a compromise at the Film Chamber. In this industry we consider everyone as a family member, but there might be a valid reason why director Nagathihalli's patience could not stand it any longer," said Ravichandran.u00a0 "If my assistant directors go to complaint against me for the same reason, there will be an issue everyday. But we treat them as members of a family."
