Earlier, it was reported that filmmaker Manish Harishankar has filed a police complaint against actress Digangana Suryavanshi. His complaint was about extortion and criminal breach of trust.
His complaint spoke about how the actress had assured him that she would have Akshay Kumar on board as a presenter for his show, Showstopper. But now Digangana claims that she had indeed gotten Akshay Kumar’s approval to come on board as a presenter for showstopper under a business which Manish could not honour after committing Digangana says, “Manish’s narrative is his twisted imagination; it’s all untrue. A cheap publicity stunt of simply dragging names, clearly he’s trying to find a bakra so he can bail out from not being able to sell the show even after more than two years. I don’t want to waste any more time explaining further; I’ve already wasted too much time trying to help him”.Her lawyer, Rajendra Mishra, also stated: “All the allegations made against our client Digangana are absolutely baseless and an outcome of someone’s criminal intention and trying to cover up their own shortcomings. Our client has known Manish for 7 years and is an actress in his series “Showstopper.”
When Manish was in a situation where he clearly couldn’t help himself, he asked for help from our client and proposed a business deal that his team had executed an MOU between him and our client. Strangely, Manish Harishankar doesn’t understand that extortion doesn’t happen in legal binding; It’s called business. Under the terms of the MOU,. Our client had gotten a presenter on board and honoured her side of the commitment.”He further said, “Manish has spread false quotes in the name of our client, tarnished her reputation, made false claims in the media, leaked a business deal proposal, signed a false MOU with a commitment of having money when there was none, cheated by not returning or canceling the MOU he has, didn’t pay our client’s actors fee yet while he falsely claims that he has, in fact, our client’s staff hasn’t been paid, defamed our client, leaked out their home address, trapped her in a situation voluntarily, and much more.
We’ve filed a police complaint against him under IPC sections 509, 406, 420, 499, 500, 503, 506, 63, 199, and 211. We have also sent him a defamation notice. Unlike Manish, we have evidence of all transparent communication. Manish is clearly at fault and has the audacity to spread just false information”. Digangana’s lawyer also confirmed that she has not received a single penny for the deal.
