The chubby cheeked, rotund actress of Kannada cinema Sharmila Mandre has filed a complaint against 'Dhan Dhana Dhan' producer Nargis Babu. Producer Babu was supposed to pay Rs.4 lakhs before the release of the film and he deceived Sharmila. He was supposed to pay the amount after wrapping up the shooting. Later on, the actress tried calling him up several times to ask for the sum due to her, but Babu refused to answer her calls.

"I approached the Artists Association and sought their intervention. Babu claimed to have no knowledge of any pending dues. It is my hard earned money and I have worked day and night for that film. Now, I don't have anything to do with the film and will not speak a word about it. Now the Karnataka Film Chamber will decide on the future course of action," asserts Sharmila.

Sharmila Mandre is the granddaughter of the late RN Mandre of Mandre Pictures, which is a major distribution house that shot to fame with 'Sajani' the Kannada film, four years ago.
