The ban ofKannada actress Nikitha Thukralby Film Producers' Association has evoked sharp reactions from the industry.
Nikitha was banned for three years for her alleged affair with leading actor Darshan that has led to marital discord between the actor and his wife.
Darshan was arrested on Friday and remanded in judicial custody for 14 days after his wife accused of assaulting her. His wife alleged that he had pulled out a gun on her in a drunken state.
Thirty-year-old Nikitha is acting in a film, Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna, based on freedom fighter Sangolli Rayanna, in which Darshan is playing the lead role.
Leading actors like Girish Karnad and Girish Kasarvalli have come out in support of Nikitha.
With an estimated cost ofRs.19 crore, Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna is said to be one of the most expensive Kannada films made so far.
Actor Khushboo has called the decision "absolutely uncalled for".
"I'm surprised. I didn't expect them (the association) to come to this conclusion," she told Headlines Today, adding, "It's absolutely biased and not justified."
She further said, "I don't know what prompted them to take the decision. It's not a sexist decision, but a biased one."
