The actress is currently in the spotlight for her role in 'Lachhminia', a film directed by Ritesh S Kumar, known for his work on 'Secrets of Love'. The movie tackles a sensitive issue and stars Tanushree alongside Sintu Singh. However, controversy has arisen as a young actor claimed his role was cut and that upper-caste characters were portrayed unfairly. This led to a heated confrontation, with the actor threatening to halt the film's release and engaging in a scuffle.

The film 'Lakshminiya' has been shot at various locations in Bihar. It highlights the atrocities faced by people of lower castes at the hands of those from higher castes, a poignant issue still prevalent in many Indian villages despite years of independence. The film's narrative is deeply moving and sheds light on the ongoing struggles of marginalized communities.

Ritesh highlights the ongoing suppression of lower-caste voices in society. His film 'Lakshminiya' addresses this issue. Kumar recently screened the film in Patna, where Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha attended. The film features Tanushree Chatterjee, a well-known Bhojpuri actress who has appeared in over 50 films.
