Details About Tamannaah Bhatia’s Plea

However, the O’ Romeo star claimed that the company continued using her images on its product wrappers, advertisements, and online listings from 2010-2011, during which her deal was over with them. She reportedly alleged that this affected her commercial prospects when she was in discussions with other brands. As a result, she sought Rs 1 crore in damages and a permanent injunction restraining the further use of her pictures by the said brand.
