Actress Tanushree Dutta accused Bollywood senior actor Nana Patekar and choreographer Ganesh Acharya of pressuring her for an intimate scene and dance in the film Horn Ok Please (2008).

Later, this matter took the form of the MeToo movement. Many political parties were involved in it. Nana Patekar called all the allegations baseless. He had said that he had not received any legal notice regarding this matter.

In 2008, Tanushree Dutta filed her complaint with the Cine and Television Artists Association (CINTAA), making serious allegations against Nana Patekar. After this, Tanushree was removed from the film and Rakhi Sawant was cast in her place. A counter FIR was also registered against the actress. Because of this, she got into legal trouble. .

Tanushree Dutta was shocked by this matter. It had a deep impact on her mental health. She also had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After this, she did not feel like shooting in any film. After the controversy, many filmmakers wanted to work with Tanushree, but the actress refused. Finally, she chose the path of religion to overcome this.
