Mamitha
Baiju
Claims
Director
Bala
Hit
Her
On
Vanangaan
Set:
Mamitha
Baiju
has
recently
garnered
much
attention
through
her
performance
in
"Premalu," also
starring
Naslen
and
directed
by
Girish
A.
D.
In
a
recent
interview,
actress
Mamitha
Baiju
disclosed
an
incident
where
director
Bala
allegedly
struck
her
on
the
set
of
"Vanangaan."
Both
she
and
Suriya
had
earlier
exited
the
project.
This
isn't
the
first
time
Bala
has
faced
accusations
of
mistreating
actors,
prompting
netizens
to
question
his
continued
impunity
despite
widespread
awareness
of
his
behavior.
During
filming,
Mamitha
Baiju
was
tasked
with
performing
the
villadichan
pattu
in
a
scene.
Unsure
of
her
character's
experience
with
it,
she
queried
director
Bala,
who
informed
her
that
the
character
is
proficient
in
villadichan
pattu.
Wanting
to
acquaint
herself
with
the
performance,
Mamitha
sought
some
familiarity
with
it
to
make
it
appear
natural.
However,
Bala
merely
instructed
her
to
observe
others
and
do
as
they
did.
Subsequently,
he
called
for
a
take,
leaving
Mamitha
anxious
as
she
was
unfamiliar
with
the
villadichan
pattu
performance.
Despite
her
attempts,
Mamitha
struggled
with
the
scene,
requiring
three
takes
to
complete
it.
Throughout
the
process,
she
received
scolding
from
Bala
and
was
physically
struck
on
the
shoulder.
Mamitha
revealed
that
Bala
had
forewarned
her
about
his
approach,
advising
her
not
to
dwell
on
it.
Additionally,
she
noted
that
actor
Suriya
was
familiar
with
Bala's
behavior
from
their
previous
collaboration.
