Paan Singh Tomar in trouble

Mamata Patel, who played a small role in Paan Singh Tomar accuses Irrfan of casting couch. Mamta plays the wife of a Colonel Masand to whom Paansingh (Irrfan) gives a packet of ice-cream. People close to Irrfan say that this is just a desperate attempt by the wannabe actress to get cheap publicity.

Senior Inspector at Juhu police station, Arun Bhagat said, "A Non Cognisable offence has been registered against an unidentified person for making a threatening call to actress Mamata Patel. She received the call when she was at her home in suburban Bhayandar."

In her complaint she has claimed that Irrfan and Tigmanshu Dhulia (the director of Paan Singh Tomar) are threatening her by issuing calls from unindentified numbers so that she keeps mum about the same. Also, she received the calls while she was celebrating her birthday at the Juhu Plaza Hotel.

An officer at the police station said, "The actress claimed the caller threatened her that if she continued to talk bad about Irfan, she would face consequences." Mamata was unhappy with her small role in the movie. She blamed Irrfan and the film's director Tigmanshu Dhulia saying that the duo had falsely promised her a good role in the movie.

Mamta said, “In anticipation of a meaty role in the film, as allegedly promised by Irrfan, I spent quality time with him on the outdoor shoot in Roorkee (near Delhi-Haridwar Highway). I was with the actor for almost 15 days, but shot only two scenes for the film." she added, “But I was aghast to find that my role in Paan Singh Tomar was wrapped up within a couple of days. I wanted to expose this exploitation then, but Irrfan reportedly assured me of post publicity and said he would recommend me for roles in his future projects.”
