Telugu producer Lakshmi Manchu is furious and is threatening to take legal action. The issue concerns with certain stills of Taapsee which were originally shot for Lakshmi’s bilingual film Maranthen Mannithen. The producer claims that a lot of hard work went into getting the right look for Taapsee for that photoshoot. What irked Lakshmi is that the same stills were being used without her permission by producers of Puduvai Managaram which is a dubbing of the Malayalam film Doubles which has Taapsee in a small role.
Lakshmi has reportedly notified the Producers Council in Chennai to act against producer Bala who is behind Puduvai Managaram’s release. But Bala in his defense claims being unaware of the poster design and that the issue has now been sorted out with Lakshmi’s team and has ensured that the posters are removed with immediate effect.
