Padmapriya
had
leveled
many
charges
including
harassment
and
misbehavior
on
Saami,
the
director
of
Mirugam.
She
met
a
section
of
media
representatives
today
at
the
'Four
Frames'
and
explained
what
happened
in
the
sets
of
Mirugam
Yesterday
evening.
The
actress
openly
alleged
that
the
director
had
tried
to
misbehave
with
her
and
when
she
resisted
his
'attempts',
he
physically
assaulted
her
in
the
sets
of
Mirugam.
It
seems
like
Padmapriya
almost
shouted
in
the
press
meet.
She
abruptly
told
in
a
jarring
tone,
"Saami
was
behaving
like
a
psycho
in
the
sets.
Even
after
shooting
for
hours,
he
was
giving
me
trouble
and
tried
to
misbehave!'
But
the
actress
wasn't
ready
to
answer
or
explain
about
the
kind
of
'misbehavior'
or
'attempts'
which
made
the
actress
to
walk
out.
Padmapriya
said:
"The
director
called
the
sets
to
pack
up
for
the
day
but
insisted
me
to
stay
in
the
sets
to
shoot
few
more
in
the
evening.
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.
There
is
nothing
true
in
his
statement
about
my
performance.
I
have
completed
20
films
in
almost
all
the
southern
languages
and
won
13
awards.
None
could
complain
about
my
performance.'
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.'
However
she
refused
to
lodge
a
police
complaint
on
the
director.
"But
I
had
filed
a
complaint
on
Saami
in
the
Actors
Association.
Similar
complaints
will
be
given
to
Directors
Union
and
Producers
Council.
They
will
take
necessary
action
on
the
director…" she
added.
On
Friday
the
climax
of
the
film
Mirugam
was
shot
at
Korandi
Village
near
Madurai.
It
was
said
that
the
actress
took
several
takes
to
complete
a
particular
scene.
Before
the
director
could
complete
her
portion
Padmapriya
urged
him
to
relieve
her
sharply
at
6.00
pm.
The
irked
Saami
has
criticized
the
actress
that
she
had
performed
very
poor
and
spoiled
the
whole
day
schedule.
Padmapriya
began
to
question
him
and
Saami
lost
his
cool
and
vented
his
ire
on
her
by
slapping
her
in
front
of
the
public
and
unit
people.
Immediately
Padmapriya
burst
out
in
tears
and
asked
her
Manager
to
launch
a
complaint
against
Saami
at
the
Actors
Association.
When
asked
about
this
incident,
Saami
told,
"I
never
seen
an
actress
as
worst
as
Padmapriya
in
my
career.
She
is
such
an
arrogant
and
disobedient
in
the
sets.
And
I
am
ready
to
face
the
consequences.
