Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s brother Shamas files a Rs 100 crore defamation case against a leading publication

Mouni Roy got a big break with her debut film Gold, in which she was paired with Akshay Kumar. While the sultry Bengali actress has further bagged a role in Brahmastra, alongside Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, the latest news confirms that Mouni has signed another film. Mouni will soon be seen in director Shamas Siddiqui’s Bole Chudiyan with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, making it her 5th Bollywood project. For those who do not know, Shamas Siddiqui is actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s brother and Bole Chudiyan will be his directorial debut. However, things haven’t been all well for Shamas. Fresh reports suggest that director Shamas, who has been basking in glory post the announcement of his debut film, seems to be trapped in major legal trouble.

Shamas recently filed a defamation of Rs 100 crore against a leading publication that claimed his behaviour with female workers/actors were objectionable. The plea claims that the publication reported Shamas as someone with an attitude problem and who is very difficult to work with. Shamas denied these accusations and he went on to file the defamation case. Shamas also tweeted about it, “This is called a shit journalism @AmarUjalaNews don’t target now will at #MumbaiHighCourt its a 100cr defamation.”
