Bhubaneswar: Ollywood producer Sanjay Nayak aka Tutu landed in trouble after a woman journalist alleged that the film producer slapped her at a cinema hall today in Bhubaneswar.
Journalist Debasmita Rout also lodged a complaint against Nayak at Kharavel Nagar police station. Based on her complaint, police launched an investigation by examining the CCTV footage.
Debasmita along with other reporters went to the theatre to cover a premier show of a film. Several actors and film personalities attended the show.
Debsmita came out of the hall and tried to take bytes of actors and others.
At that time, Tutu Nayak slapped her from her back and pushed her, she alleged. The media boom and her mobile phone slipped from her hands. Instead of picking up the phone and boom, Nayak laughed at her and went on, the journalist said.
“I am shocked by the behavior of Tutu Nayak. I don’t know why he showed such behaviour. I have a good relationship with him as a media person. I want appropriate action against him,” Rout said.
Who gave him such right to slap a working journalist?, Rout asked.
Meanwhile, Nayak tendered an apology. He said “I had no ill intention. I am sorry for what happened today”.
