For a while now, there has been buzz about an affair between this producer-director and a newcomer. He gave the new actress a break in his film last year, after which rumours about their relationship surfaced.
Interestingly, the former's wife has preferred to not react to what is now being called a torrid affair. A source says that the filmmaker's wife, also an actress, is aware of her husband's infidelity and has yet chosen to stay mum about it.
`The starlet is single but the filmmaker has been married for quite a few years now. His wife has been turning a blind eye to his antics,` says the source.
However, the actress wife, once active on the social circuit, has stopped making public appearances with the filmmaker. `She keeps herself busy by taking up roles occasionally,` says the source.
Meanwhile, the filmmaker has been aggressively promoting this starlet. `In fact, one of the actors in his upcoming film wasn't too keen to have her on board, but the filmmaker shot down the actor's suggestions,` says the source.
