The Premam beauty Sai Pallavi, had two releases on December 21, the first being the Tamil flick Maari 2 with Dhanush and directed by Balaji Mohan, and the second was the Telugu flick Padi Padi Leche Manasu directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and costarring Sharwanand.

While Maari 2 has been running with decent collections reported, Padi Padi Leche Manasu which was much expected, has turned out to be a disaster. However, irrespective of the result of the movie, producer Sudhakar had reportedly approached the actress to pay the settlement balance of 40 lakhs.

However reportedly the actress denied to take the balance remuneration, and when the producer had contacted her parents to take the money, even they had reportedly refused, respecting their daughter's decision. This kind and generous gesture of Sai Pallavi to help her producer has been appreciated in Tollywood.
