Tanushree Dutta has announced her return to showbiz on social media. In a long Instagram post, Tanushree revealed that she is “in touch with three big south film managers who are pitching me for big budget south projects as well as 12 casting offices in Mumbai.” The actor also shared that she chose a Bollywood comeback over an IT job in the US. In 2018, Tanushree accused Nana Patekar of harassing her on the sets of 2008 film Horn Ok Pleassss. She alleged that Nana touched her inappropriately during the filming of a song sequence, despite her making it clear she wasn’t comfortable performing “lewd, vulgar or uncomfortable steps.” The actor moved to the US soon after, and took a sabbatical from Bollywood.
In her latest Instagram post, Tanushree added, “There are powerful Industry bigwigs who are giving me silent support in the background as they know the truth and are my well-wishers.” She further says, “I came back to India and will stay here for some time and will work on some interesting projects. I have been getting some offers from Bollywood in terms of movies and web series and the Industry seems far more interested in casting me rather than my arch- enemies. (They only announce projects but none of their projects ever see the light of day & will not). I recently shot a commercial advertisement in the beauty space and announced that I’m back to work. I’m looking good, getting back my ass as I’ve lost 15 kgs and there is a strong buzz amongst industry folks of my imminent return to acting!” Tanushree Dutta was last seen in the 2010 film Apartment.
