Samy misbehaved with me: Padmapriya

Hurling a series of charges against film director Samy, actress Padmapriya said that he had tried to misbehave with her and when she resisted his attempts, he physically assaulted her in the sets of the movie 'Mirugam'.

Padmapriya is acting in the lead role in 'Mirugam', directed by Samy.

The climax scene of the movie was shot in Madurai Friday. During the shooting, the director had reportedly slapped the actress for not getting the emotions right before the camera. The actress immediately walked out of the sets.

Addressing media persons in Chennai Saturday, Padmapriya denied press reports that she did not act well as a result of which she was slapped by the director.

In an angry tone, the actress said, 'The director behaved like a psycho in the sets. Even after shooting hours, he was giving me trouble and tried to misbehave'.

She said, 'Samy had called the sets to pack up last evening and insisted that I stay back to shoot a few more scenes. When I questioned his motive, in a fit of rage, he started slapping me in front of everyone. Unable to tolerate the humiliation, I walked out of the sets'.

On the director's charge that she could not emote well before the camera, Padmapriya said, ' I have acted in 20 films in various languages and won 13 awards for my acting skills.'

Padmapriya has lodged complaints with Tamil Film Producers Council and South Indian Film Artistes Association against the director.
