Andrea steps into a new controversy OKOK

Posted by Vidnews


Andrea Jeremiah is pretty, confident, honest, boasts off a brilliant voice and what not. She is the perfect package for performance-oriented roles and there’s no denial to that. But things seem to be going in the wrong way for her as controversies seem to sniff her out in every project.


She opted out from Selvaraghavan’s forthcoming ‘Irandam Ulagam,’ following an issue with the team and a row with the director. Richa Gangopadhyay replaced her in no time. Now, she’s roped in to play a key role in ‘Oru Kal Oru Kannadi’ that stars Udhayanidhi Stalin and Hansika Motwani.

Andrea wanted to bring in a renowned make-up artist from Mumbai and arrived at the set with her. But this led to a fury among our Chennai technicians as they did not want an outsider to do this and the artist did not posses a local card…

This led to a chaos and Andrea backed-up her make-up artist and supported her and the unions here didn’t back out either. Udhayanidhi had to step in and settle the issue by requesting the make-up artist to leave the set!
