Controversy between Tanushree Dutta and Nana Patekar

Tanushree and Nana worked together in only one film, 'Horn OK Please' (2009). In 2018, under the "Me Too" campaign, Tanushree had accused Nana Patekar of inappropriate behavior with her during the shooting of a song in 2008. She said that she was made to feel uncomfortable on the set and Nana tried to touch her inappropriately.

After these allegations, Tanushree got the support of some stars in Bollywood, but Nana Patekar called all these allegations false and baseless. Tanushree had also filed a police complaint against him.
