Bangalore: Popular south Indian actress Ramya was today banned for one year by Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) amid the dispute between her and a producer over the repayment of a loan.
"The KFCC has banned the actress in the wake of baseless allegations that she levelled against filmmakers", its President Basant Kumar Patil told PTI.
30 year-old Ramya, who has acted in a number of chartbusters, had announced her decision to quit the film industry following the rift with A.Ganesh who she claimed owed Rs 10 lakh to her.
When contacted, Ramya said the ban would "not make any difference" to her as she has already decided to bid adieu to the industry.
Ramya, who has also acted in several Tamil and Telugu films, had refused to take part in promotional programmes of Ganesh's film Dandam Dashagunam.
Winner of the 2006 Film Fare award for best actress (Kannada) for her role in Thananam Thananam, Ramya had said certain comments made by Ganesh had "tarnished" her image among the fans.
But Patil charged the "false allegations" made by the actress against renowned Kannada filmmakers, including Rajendra Singh Babu, had "tarnished" their image.
On Kannada film icon Ambareesh who sought to mediate on behalf of Ramya, Patil said the veteran actor was "unaware of the real issue".
President of the Producers' Association K C N Chandru said the producers too had decided "not to cooperate with Ramya in future as her behaviour was not in good taste".
Ramya has acted in box-office hits Arasu, Amruthadhare and Mussange Mathu (Kannada) and Vaaranam Aayiram (Tamil).
