Suniel Shetty To Sue Producer For Defamation
| ||||
Monday, 12th May 2014, 05:15 PM IST Readers may recall that a while ago, it was reported that actor Suniel Shetty was caught between two warring producers who offered him a film co-produced by them, titled ‘Mumbai Kiski’. Later, they had a fall-out and each was asking the actor to return the signing amount to each of them.
This incident really harassed the actor and now he has decided to file a case against one of the producers – Hemendra Singh Solanki. Earlier, Solanki had registered an FIR in Udaipur alleging that the actor had cheated him and had made derogatory statements against him in the media. Suniel will now fight these allegations by taking legal action against the producer. He will be filing a defamation suit against the producer. Hitesh Jain, Shetty’s lawyer, says, “We will take legal action against the producer and get the criminal proceedings started soon. Celebrities are taken advantage of as they are considered to be soft targets.” He further added that Shetty had approached the Cine & TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) to sort the matter out but in vain. “We would have followed the association’s verdict, but producer Hemendra Singh Solanki decided to go ahead and register an FIR. Now we will counter the same with a defamation suit,” he says. |
