Tamil heroine Padmapriya has emerged the winner from her real-life encounter with director Samy.
The actress, who got slapped by the director during the shooting of the film titled ‘Mirugam’, has had the last laugh with the Tamil film industry slapping a one-year ban on the errant director.
The decision to impose the ban on Samy despite a personal apology, was taken at a meeting of the Tamil Film Producers Council, Nadigar Sangam and Film Federation of South India.
According to the grapevine, the tough decision was taken because the reputation of the Tamil film industry was at stake.
The ban would mean a career setback for Samy. Not only will he be barred from directing films for one year, he will also be unable to complete the film he is working on currently, ‘Mirugam’.
