Dharam Pal
SHASHILAL
Nair's Ek Chhotisi Love Story was in the news before its release
with the film-maker being accused of the breach of trust by the renowned
film star, Manisha Koirala. Shashilal Nair used a duplicate to shoot
some obscenes. After Manisha raised objections about the obscene scenes,
the director promised that he would cut them. But when Manisha saw the
preview of the film she was shocked to find the scenes in it. With both
sticking to their guns the battle also went to court.
