Pooja Gandhi has approached the High Court to remove the stay induced on her maiden production Abhinetri, by a lower court in Bangalore. The actress was reported to be shell-shocked over the ban, as the film has completed over 95% of shooting. The film ran into trouble after a writer Bhagya Krishnamoorthy filed petitions against the makers claiming that they lifted the script from her book.

Abhinetri marks Pooja Gandhi's comeback venture and is also being produced by her home banner. The film is said to be the biopic of yesteryear actress Kalpana.
