Tanushree Dutta - Nana Patekar media circus is getting bigger by the day. While Tanushree is standing by her claims that Nana Patekar had harassed her in 2008, Nana Patekar has sent a legal notice to her claiming that she is putting false allegations against him. He is not the only one. Controversial film-maker and Censor Board member Vivek Agnihotri has also sent a legal notice to her for the same charges. Nana Patekar to Answer Sexual Harassment Allegations by Tanushree Dutta in Press Conference on October 8.
