Madras High Court rejects Tamannaah Bhatia’s plea against Power Soaps limited The Madras High Court has dismissed an appeal filed by actor Tamannaah Bhatia, who had sought Rs. 1 crore in damages from Power Soaps Limited over the alleged unauthorised use of her images after the expiry of a commercial agreement, as per a report by Bar and Bench. A Division Bench comprising Justices P Velmurugan and K Govindarajan Thilakavadi upheld an earlier ruling by a single judge, concluding that the actor had failed to prove that her photographs were used beyond the agreed contractual period. The matter stems from a 2008 endorsement deal under which Bhatia had allowed the company to use her images for promoting its soap products for one year, until October 2009. According to the actor, Power Soaps continued to use her photographs on product packaging, advertisements and online platforms during 2010–2011, even after the agreement had lapsed. She argued that this unauthorised use affected her professional opportunities, particularly as she was in discussions with rival brands at the time. Seeking relief, Bhatia approached the court for Rs. 1 crore in damages and also requested a permanent injunction to restrain the company from further using her images. However, the single judge had earlier dismissed her claims, observing that the evidence presented — including product wrappers, a purchase document and online listings — lacked reliability and failed to establish a clear link between the ... #High_Court #Tamannaah_Bhatia #Tamannaah #Madras_High #High #Power_Soaps #rejects_Tamannaah #Soaps_limited #actor_Tamannaah #appeal_filed

Tamannaah Bhatia’s Ragini MMS 3 put on hold as director Sahir Raza exits amid scheduling clash: Report Tamannaah Bhatia’s reported association with Ektaa Kapoor’s Ragini MMS 3 had generated significant interest earlier this year, especially among fans of the long-running horror franchise. However, the much-anticipated third instalment has now reportedly hit a pause, with the project being put on hold indefinitely. According to a report by Variety India, filmmaker Sahir Raza, who was set to direct Ragini MMS 3, has been removed from the project due to scheduling conflicts. His exit has created uncertainty around the film’s production timeline.

Although they are actively looking for a replacement director, the film doesn’t seem to be starting anytime soon, marking a significant hurdle for the franchise. ”While the makers are reportedly searching for a new director, there is currently no official announcement regarding when the Tamannaah Bhatia-led film will go on floors.

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia likely to film a folklore dance sequence for Vvan in Mumbai Ever since its announcement, Vvan has steadily built intrigue as one of the more unusual projects on the upcoming slate. Backed by Balaji Telefilms and The Viral Fever (TVF), the film is positioned as a folklore-driven thriller, a genre rarely explored on a large scale in Hindi cinema. With Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia leading the cast, the project continues to draw attention as new details emerge from its production. According to sources close to the film, the makers are planning a special folklore-inspired dance sequence featuring the lead pair, which is expected to be shot in Mumbai. While there has been no official confirmation yet, the sequence is said to be designed to align closely with the film’s cultural and thematic core. Given Vvan’s focus on folklore, the reported inclusion of a dedicated dance segment could serve as a visual extension of the film’s world rather than a conventional song-and-dance routine. The buzz around the sequence has added to the growing curiosity surrounding Vvan, especially after the film’s initial glimpse left audiences keen to know more about its tone and setting. If the reports hold true, it will mark a rare on-screen collaboration between Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in a format that leans heavily on myth, tradition, and atmospheric storytelling. Vvan also stands out due to the scale of its collaboration.
