The budding actor Naveen Mayoor’s earlier Nakhra we have reported. Now he adds one more to his kitty of controversies. He has beaten assistant director Nagaraj in a fit of anger. For a slight delay in handing over the dialogue sheet of ‘Halo’ Kannada film at the Vijaya Dubbing and Recording studio in Chamrajpet actor Naveen blasted the assistant director in words on last Thursday and then slashed on the face of assistant director Nagaraj. Baffled with this Nagaraj shouted for help for such uncalled behavior from actor. The Mara Mari in real filmy style took place for a short while and the director of the film Kodlu Ramakrishna intervened. The secretary of the Directors Association Nanjunde Gowda was also roped in and situation was brought under control.

Naveen has been behaving atrociously at his very young age. He uttered very badly for ‘Halo’ and ‘Lavalavike’ Kannada films in which he had acted. He has never been punctual to shoot and also at the dubbing studio. For irregularity of Naveen unnecessarily Rs.20000 went down the drain. On three continuous days he arrived late by three hours. He used to put a condition that the dubbing would be done only once and no adjustment.

Kodlu the director of the film ‘Halo’ shot back and told Naveen that hitting at his assistant is nothing but hitting at him.

Why Naveen you are going beyond control? What’s wrong with you? Are you Shahrukh Khan or Amir Khan? What is that you have proved to behave shabbily in the early part of your career?
