Actor Digangana Suryavanshi recently filed a defamation case against Show Stopper maker Manish Harishankar after she was accused of deceptive practices and financial misconduct by the director. Digangana sent a defamation notice and lodged a complaint under IPC sections 420, 406, 509, 499, 500, 503, 506, 63, 199, and 211. She has refuted the allegations put forth by Manish, who accused the actor of “extortion” and “breach of trust”.
A few days ago, MH films, the production house behind Show Stopper, made a formal complaint to law enforcement against Digangana. They accused her of serious offenses under sections 420 and 406 of the IPC. According to the complaint, Digangana allegedly provided false information claiming actor Akshay Kumar, along with his organisation, were going to be sponsors of the project.
Now, Digangana Suryavanshi has refuted the claims and said, “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 Misha, in a statement, said, “We would like to officially quote that 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 on 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 where his team had executed an MOU between him and our client.”
He added, “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.”
“Which is when our client further requested the presenter and after re-editing the show (for which our client invested 4 days at the edit suit) the presenter watched the episodes and agreed to present the show, although a lot of changes were still required, but Manish promised to fix them after their agreement,” concluded Mishra.
Previously, MH Films served a legal notice to Rakesh Bedi and Krishan Parmar, who is known to work closely with Digangana Suryavanshi.
