Controversies	• The director, Suraj, reportedly made some sexist remarks while talking about Tamannaah's costumes in the film "Kathi Sandai," which kicked up a controversy. Later, the actress made a Tweet seeking apology from the director not just to herself but to all women in the cinema industry. • Tamannaah Bhatia landed into a controversy after the film producer, Salim Akhtar, filed a complaint against Tamannaah at the Association of Motion Picture and Television Programme Producers (AMPTPP) for breaking a Bollywood Contract. As per the contract, she was supposed to pay 25% of her remuneration for the next five years to Salim. But the actress never honoured the contract. The issue was later sent to the Kolkata High Court. However, her father said that Tamannaah did not sign any contract and that she was minor at the time of her film debut. • In January 2018, an engineering student hurled a shoe at Tamannaah in Hyderabad while the actress was there to inaugurate a jewellery store. Though the shoe missed its aim, the actress was shaken by the incident. The miscreant stated that he was a huge fan of the actress and did the act as he was upset over her roles in films.
