One more off the field controversy now. Nayanatara, Tamil film actress has been dropped as brand ambassador of Chennai Super Kings with immediate effect. As per the contract, Nayanatara had to appear for all the 7 matches of home team played at Chennai. Nayanatara did not turn up for the first match at home for Chennai IPL team against Mumbai on April 23. This apparently had irked the owner of franchise, Gurunath Meiyappan of India cements, which resulted in the omission of the actress. Deal was signed for Rs.40 lakhs of which the actress was paid Rs.20 lakhs as advance. Now, Gurunath wants her to return back Rs.15 lakhs paid with Rs.5 lakhs being paid to her for her appearance in the inaugural function. On the other side, Nayanatara who was shooting in Hyderabad, maintains that she had fainted on the sets of Kuselan and was hospitalized, whereas the official communication from franchise states that they were kept in dark about this event till the start of the match.
