After rape, model accuses ex-lover of threatening calls

Mumbai: The 27-year-old model-actress, who had accused her boyfriend of rape and stealing her valuables, has now alleged that he has been calling her late in the night to abuse and threaten her, allegedly to pressurise her into withdrawing the police complaint she had lodged against him.

MiD DAY had earlier reported about how the model had filed a case against her boyfriend, Dipesh Parekh, a struggling model she met during the shoot of a movie in Jaipur.

She had accused him of raping her a number of times, assaulting her, and running away with her money and jewellery worth more than Rs. 6.5 lakh. The Goregaon police had then booked him under Section 376 (rape) of the IPC and sent a team to Rajasthan to search for him.

Last night, in a phone call to MiD DAY, she claimed that Dipesh had been giving her threatening calls after she lodged the police complaint.

"Last night, he called me to say that he would not let me stay happily because I filed a police complaint against him. He is threatening me that unless I withdraw the complaint, he will continue making my life miserable, and will make sure I do not get any movies to work in," the model told MiD DAY.

She added, "He has been calling me in the night regularly, abusing and threatening me. I was in a relationship with him for the past two years and wanted to marry him. But he made false promises and ran away with my valuables."

On Saturday, the model had met Additional Commissioner of Police Ramrao Pawar, north region, and told him that she has been getting these calls, police officials said.

"She told us about the threatening phone calls. The calls she has been getting are all from landlines. The last call was received from Jaipur and we have sent a team there to trace the accused. We are investigating the case," said Pawar.

A Goregaon resident, the model had come to the city from Delhi. She met Dipesh, who is from Jaipur, when she was shooting for a film in a village in Rajasthan in 2009.

The two had fallen in love during the shooting. She further claimed, "Initially, everything was fine, but then I became pregnant. Dipesh asked me to abort the child, which I did. In fact, during the relationship I had three abortions."

She also claimed that her boyfriend was involved in a sexual relationship with another male model and that when she confronted him about it, he started physically abusing her. "I tried to counsel him about his homosexual activities, but he didn't listen and wanted me to be in his life as well," the model had said.

Kanteerava Kannada movie review wall papers

Director Thushar Ranganath started his career with the movie Gulama in 2009. After two years gap, he is back with his second venture Kanteerava, which stars black cobra Vijay in the lead. It is a remake of Jr NTR's hit Telugu movie Simghadri and the director has done nothing but clear copycat except a few changes made here and there to suit the taste of local audience.

Kanteerava is an action thriller with triangular love story as its backdrop. Duniya Vijay's acting is the main attraction of the film. Chakri's music, Risheeka Singh's glamour, Mandya Ramesh and Sadhu Kokila's comedy, punch dialogues, costumes, fights and dance sequences are the other highlights of the film.

The movie has a good storyline that is all about an angry young man eliminating the rowdy elements in his neighbouring state and becoming the saviour of people of that state. The narration of the film is good. The first half is bit slow pace, but the second half, which has all the commercial elements like comedy, love, emotion and fights, is very interesting. In the climax, there are some thought provoking dialogues exchanged between hero and villain.

Kanti alias Kanteerava (Vijay) is an orphan. He is impressed by Ramachandrapa (Srinivasamurthy), the village leader's principle that he is ready to die himself or kill anyone for the welfare of ten people. Once Kanti saves his life by risking his own life. Later, he is grown up by the leader, whose granddaughter Kasthuri (Rishika Singh) falls in love with him. But, he is in love with a girl called Indra (Shuba Punja), whom he is secretly looking after. After gaining her consciousness, Indhu tries to kill him. Why she tries to kill him and whom he will marry will form the climax of the film.

As usual, Vijay looks superb in his role as angry young man Kanteerava. He wins the heart of audience in action, comedy and sentimental sequences. Risheeka's glam skin show is a feast for pranksters. Shubha Poonja has done justice to her role. Mandya Ramesh and Sadhu Kokila's comedy is a highlight of the film. Srinivasamurthy, Mukesh Rishi, Rahul Dev, Bhanuchander and Sankesh Kashi are good in their respective roles.

Chakri has composed music for five songs of the film and songs like 'Cheluve Cheluve...' and 'Singamalai...' are good. Dasari Srinivas' camera work is good. Editing work, costumes and locations are also commending. Overall, it is a perfect commercial entertainer and atleast Vijay fans should not miss it.

Producer: Ramu

Director: Thushar Ranganath

Cast: Vijay, Shuba Punja, Rishika Singh, Srinivasamurthy, Mandya Ramesh, Mukesh Rishi, Rahul Dev, Bhanuchander, GV, Yamuna, Rekha, Sankesh Kashi, Vijay Kashi

Malayalam actress Bhavana has reportedly been replaced by another Mallu babe Mamta Mohandas in real star Upendra's upcoming Kannada movie, which will be directed by Aneesh Varma. According to sources, Uppi's next movie was to start its shooting from the first week of February.

However, Sudeep has confirmed that she would act in his movie and he would wait for her dates.
