Know about the whole matter
In June this year, MH Films filed a police complaint against Digangana Suryavanshi. She was accused of cheating and criminal breach of trust under Section 420 and Section 406 of the IPC. The complaint claimed that Digangana had falsely claimed to have secured actor Akshay Kumar and his company as presenters for the Show Stopper series.
The complaint said that the actress had said that she has personal relations with stars like Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan and she would bring them as presenters. The production house's lawyer Falguni Brahmbhatt had also claimed that Digangana allegedly attempted to extort a huge sum in cash and threatened Manish Harishankar with dire consequences if her demands were not met.
