Sanjjanaa, who was shooting away from Bengaluru, on Tuesday decided to end the matter after the head of the Kannada Film actors’ association Dr Ambareesh and others advised her to end the matter.

Previously in a video posted on her social media account, she had alleged that the makers of Ganda Hendathi had shot the film with camera angles showing her obscenely and vulgarly.In her debut movie she was told about a kissing scene, but by the time the shooting wrapped up, she was forced to do more than 30 to 40 such scenes.

After Sanjjanaa’s apology, Shrivatsa has said that he feels vindicated and doesn't want to discuss anything more on this matter.
