MUMBAI: Angry with Deepika Padukone’s quitting Tips Films‘ Race 2 at the eleventh hour, producer Ramesh Taurani has filed a complaint against the actress with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) and Association of Motion Pictures & TV Programme Producer of India (AMPTPP).

CINTAA has confirmed having received the complaint against Padukone and in turn has informed the actress about the complaint filed by the filmmaker.

According to the rules and regulations of CINTAA, if an artiste fails to respond to a complaint, the case gets forwarded to FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees). And then, if the artiste turns a blind eye to FWICE‘s decision, he/she is liable to face a NCD (Non-Cooperation Directive).

“ I respect Taurani a lot and would not do anything that upsets him. The only paper he had given ma mentioned that the film would be completed by September 2011 and we are in now February 2012. I have my own commitments. I would reply to the CINTAA in due course of time,” averred Padukone.

It is believed that Padukone will soon meet FWICE President Dharmesh Tiwari and CINTAA General Secretary Dharmesh Tiwari. After the two parties are heard, Padukone doesn’t mind returning the signing amount and as for the compensation, she is open to discussions.
