Actor Nana Patekar was accused by actress Tanushree Dutta of sexual harassment on the sets of ‘OK Horn Pleassss’. The ‘Dhol’ star had added that he not only harassed her but also tried to intimidate her by goons of a political party who attacked her car while she and her father were inside it. The actress has filed a police complaint against Nana, Ganesh Acharya, producer Samee Siddiqui and the film’s director Rakesh Sarang as she wants them to face consequences for their actions. Nana Patekar too has sent a legal notice to Tanushree asking her to apologise to him.
