As per news reports, Bhuvaneswari is in the news for some unexpected reasons, involving courts, journalists, actors, actresses and many more people. There are complaints and cross-complaints filed with the commissioner calling for action - a complaint filed by South India Film Artistes Association (SIFAA) against journalists and the complaints filed by various journalist bodies against some actors.

The case has its roots in a news report published by Tamil daily Dinamalar about some leading lights of the Tamil movie world. The report was based on a statement by Bhuvaneswari who got into some controversies earlier. But it is reported the daily Dinamalar published an apology to the actors prominently the next day even before such a demand was made. Angered by the Dinamalar report, however, SIFAA filed a police complaint against the daily, which resulted in the arrest and jailing of the daily's news editor. Now it is the press versus actors, and both want the police to act against one another and now it is before the courts.

Maybe, some of our friends from Chennai, who may read this, can throw more light on the controversy!
