Hyderabad: Choreographer Jani Master (Shaik Jani Basha) is embroiled in a new controversy with the dancers' union reportedly deciding to expel him. On Monday, Jani Master stated that he would challenge such an illegal decision if there was any truth in it.
Shaik Jani Basha is currently out of jail on bail in the case registered for allegedly sexually abusing a female choreographer. "I am going to stage a comeback in films," he said, mentioning the name of the much-awaited big-budget movie. On Dec 8, Telugu Film and TV Dance and Directors Association held its election, in which Joseph Prakash was elected as its president. Jani Master alleged that conducting the election itself was illegal. Jani Basha was elected president of the association last year and said his term was not over yet.
"I have not been expelled from any association. No one can expel anyone. Nobody can suppress talent. I am considering a legal fight against the association elections held on Sunday," he said.
