This is the story about a director known for his blockbuster-yet-brain-dead comedies and a leading screen diva.
According to giggly but reliable sources, a sizeable chunk of his recent film's budget went into doing damage control for his alleged misdemeanours.
Here is what happened. During the shooting of his recent film, the director called the film's main actress to his room at night to discuss a scene.
She said she'd prefer he came to the reception area. But he insisted they meet in his room. She went eventually and, to her shock, found that he was butt naked.
But the smart girl that she is, she didn't get frazzled. Instead, she secretly snapped him with her phone.
These pictures went straight to the authorities, with the request to register a case of sexual harassment.
Friends and family members of the director immediately got into damage-control mode, and had to shell out in crores to the star to hush it all up.
PS: A long-forgotten hero who was known in Bollywood more for his prowess in bed than his on-screen histrionics is miffed. The director has nudged him off his numero uno perch of owning the most impressive package.
