Mumbai. Bollywood actress Digangana Suryavanshi has denied the allegations made by Manish Harishankar, producer-director of the web series ‘Showstopper’. Digangana has filed a defamation case against Manish Harishankar and has also lodged a police complaint. Manish had earlier accused Digangana of extortion and criminal breach. Digangana has said that she had taken Akshay Kumar’s approval to appear as a presenter for ‘Showstopper’ as part of a business deal, which Manish did not fulfill.
Breaking her silence on the matter, Digangana said, “What Manish is saying is his figment of imagination. This is all a lie. It is just a cheap promotional stunt to drag names. It is clear that he is looking for a scapegoat to slaughter so that he can sell the show even after more than 2 years.”
He has been giving flops continuously since 2021, his last 6 films proved to be disasters, yet this 58-year-old hero is the owner of 742 crores
Digangana Suryavanshi said, “I don’t want to waste any more time, I have already wasted a lot of time trying to help them.” Digangana’s lawyer Rajendra Mishra also released a statement which read, “We would like to officially state that all the allegations leveled against our client Digangana are completely baseless and are the result of someone’s criminal intent and attempt to hide their shortcomings.”
Digangana Suryavanshi had signed a deal with Manish Harishankar
Rajendra Mishra further added, “Our client knows Manish for 7 years and is an actress in his series ‘Showstopper’, Manish sought help from our client and offered a business deal, which both signed. Manish was given a rough draft contract as confirmation of the deal, several changes had to be made in the draft, which Manish was informed about in advance. Manish set a payment deadline and failed the deadline thrice!”
Manish Harishankar did not have money
Rajendra Mishra said, “Our client during this time realised that Manish Harishankar was having money issues to complete the deal, his financier had asked him to provide NOC or contract of all other financiers if he needed more funding and Manish could not provide that to his financier, that is why no money was released and the deal was cancelled.
