Priya accuses Diganth of cheating him!

Priya Bharathi, the director of 'E-Preethi', has accused actor Diganth of cheating her by using her credit card without her knowledge. But the actor says that Priya is levelling false accusations against him and has demanded an apology from her. If she refuses to do so, he would back out of the film, said Diganth in a press meet.

According to the mail Priya sent to the producers, she gave Diganth her credit card to purchase some medicines while they were in Washington. But, she came to know later that he used the card to buy a pair of shoes, to get admitted to a night club and to party. She says it was her personal money and the actor has spent $100 on her credit card without her permission.

Though one of the producers had earlier complained against the actor for not allocating proper dates for the film, all of them are standing by the actor in this case and have asked for an apology from the director. But Priya says her accusation is not false and she stands by what she has said.
