In August this year, actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who works extensively in the South film industry, was announced as the host of the Telugu version of the popular MasterChef series. The show, which went on air on August 27, was judged by Hyderabad chefs Sanjay Thumma, Chalapathi Rao, and Mahesh Padala as judges. The actress who is a self-confessed fan of the series had even expressed her excitement over getting to host the show, which was also her TV debut. But according to the latest developments, it seems like not all is well between the makers and the host. Tamannaah has decided to take the legal route after the makers cut off all communication with her. The actress's lawyer informs, "Due to the non-payment of dues on MasterChef Telugu and unprofessional conduct by the production house Innovative Film Academy, Tamannaah Bhatia is being forced to take legal action. Despite the continuous non-payment and unprofessional approach, she cancelled other commitments and was determined to complete the entire project. However, since the production house has overnight stopped communication with her, she is now forced to consider filing a legal suit against them".
