Tamil cinema witnessed a bizarre press meet today when actress turned producer Sona convened one to announce that she was a victim of a rape attempt.

Sona accused actor – producer S P B Charan of attempting to rape her and treating her derogatorily at the Mankatha success party.

According to Sona, she attended the Mankatha success party thrown by Vaibhav and team where Charan grabbed her and attempted to sexually assault her. She also mentioned that Venkat Prabhu tried to pull away an inebriated Charan from assaulting her.

Earlier, Sona visited the Pondy Bazaar police station and lodged a formal complaint against Charan for attempted rape. Sona declared that she would immolate herself if Charan does not come out with a public apology for this assault on her.

Sona's press meet was widely attended by media houses.

Sona's role as an actress in Ko fetched her acclaims. But it apparently also earned her the wrath of Namitha, on whom it's reportedly modelled.

Certain sections of the media had reported that Sona had sent an SMS to Namitha, asking her if she was upset with her. And Namitha had apparently replied saying it was OK and asked Sona not to call her again.

When CT contacted Sona, she said, "I did send an SMS to Namitha, telling her the role was a fictious one and I was just acting in it. I told her I had nothing personal against her. But she didn't respond. But I didn't try calling her."

Meanwhile, the actress is keen to make an autobiopic. "The film will be based on certain incidents that happened in my life. It will cover three stages in my life and I will be playing the lead in one of them. I want a reputed director to handle the project sensitively. But it will go on floors only after I complete 2010 Bhagyaraj with Premji and another film with Venkat Prabhu," she informed.
