The way Tamanna entered into film industry looks quite silly because during her schooling days in 2005, it was producer Salim Akhtar who introduced her to films with a flop 'Chand Sa Roshan Chehra.' Observing the spark and sex appeal in Tammu, producer Salim made milk beauty to sign a contract where in she was supposed to share 25 per cent of remuneration earnings with Salim for five years. Neither Tamanna nor her dad Santosh Bhatia really cared for the agreement as she went on bagging top offerss in regional Soputh.
Then did Salim knocked the doors of Association of Motion Picture and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) and Calcutta High Court on cheating grounds filing cases against Tamanna. As Association memebers and president Sajid Nadiadwala were able to convince, Salim agreed to withdraw the case upon paying Rs.25 Lakhs as cash. 'I have settled my case with Tamanna,' the producer says.
