Innocent heroine facing political heat!

Vimala Raman is playing a female fiddle in Dam 999 a hollywood flick, which is facing controversies as the movie is said to revolve around the Mullaiperiyar Dam, the bone of contention between Tamil Nadu and Kerala.Dubbing version Tamil is slated to release but the political outfits and other filmi associations are training their guns on the Indian cast.
Reportedly, some of the associations intend to call for a ban on Vimala Raman.When Vimala was contacted by media, the dusky actress, who was shooting in Manali for a Tollywood flick titled Kulu Manali said that she was unaware of the protest and ban.
“I have been shooting in a remote place in Manali for the past one week for my heroine-centric Telugu film. My friends just messaged me about the uproar in Chennai. I am basically an NRI and born and brought up in Australia before K. Balachandar sir introduced me in his film Poi. So, I honestly do not know anything about the history of dams in India. When the script was narrated to me by director Sohan Roy, I viewed it only from the cinematic perspective. I am sure there was no intention of hurting the sentiments of Tamils.” said Vimala.
Vimala plays Meera, a Malayali girl living in a village near the dam and her romance with Vinay Rai forms the main story of the movie.According to her it's a true story about the disaster caused in 1975 by a dam at Banqiuo, in China.
