The anger of Harshika Poonacha was understandable. A bold statement in the packed auditorium of Dew Drops could have been averted by makers of ‘Ale’ in case they were professional in their approach and recollected what Harshika Poonacha had told at the time of signing the agreement.

I condemn the unprofessional approach of this film. I am hurt. From the beginning I stated that dual heroine film I would not act. There is no dearth also for me to do so. At the time of signing I made it clear. I have given one year call sheet for this ‘Ale’ Kannada film. Despite of such support they did not told me that Aviva Biddappa is also in the film. I came to know recently. I did not want to come to the audio release. I felt it my duty to promote my film. I have planned my films neatly and the unprofessional approach is my only cause of worry stated Harshika Poonacha.

I don’t want Ketta publicity and I would continue to come to the promotion of the film. The producer and director should have informed me for courtesy on entry of another heroine informed Harshika Poonacha.

None on the crowded dais connected to the film reacted to what Harshika Poonacha said. ‘Ayyo mathadkolli Bidi Sir…said producer Kiran Kumar Reddy when he met the media persons later on.

According to sources of ‘Ale’ film there are only two scenes of Aviva Biddappa in the film. Roping in daughter of fashion Guru Biddappa would add to the value of the film. There was no need for the ruckus from Harshika Poonacha at the packed auditorium says the insiders.  

The Kannada film ‘Ale’ has made a through change in the contents with the arrival of Gopikiran. He has the credit for story, screenplay and for co direction of the film.

Why is Harshika Poonacha talking like this? What is her status in the cinema industry? Has she given consecutive hits to attack like that? Is she as popular as Ramya sandalwood queen or given hits like Radhika Pandit? Such comments were also heard at the auditorium.
