Sameera Reddy is extremely miffed with Abbas Mustan, the director of her upcoming film Race. We hear that she was treated badly throughout the shooting of the film. Frustrated with the state of affairs, she went and spoke to producer Ramesh Taurani, who promised to take care of things.

However, there was no noticeable improvement on the sets. Our source from the unit of Race tells us, “The makers of Race were more attentive towards Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif while Sameera was side-lined. No wonder she reacted the way she did.”

So, what kind of preferential treatment was given to Bips and Kat? Our source says, “To begin with, Sameera was promised a longer role. However, later she found out that Bipasha and Katrina had a better role than her while she was sandwiched between the two in some combination scenes. The focus was entirely on Bipasha and Katrina.”

“Worse still, Sameera’s name was not included in the media-meet held at Delhi recently. The press was informed that every actor from Race will interact with the media but Sameera was completely excluded. Sameera, who had worked very hard for the project could not take it any longer,” our source adds.

Sameera remained unavailable for comment. When contacted, producer Ramesh Taurani says, “Sameera was well aware of her role. We did not force her to take it on. It was her choice.”

When asked whether her role was indeed very short, Taurani said, “How does the length of a role matter? Every role has its own value.”
