Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui has filed Rs 100 crore defamation suit against a publication for allegedly maligning his name without any substantial backing. Shamas is directing his first starring brother Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mouni Roy titled Bole Chudiyaan.
Shamasuddin’s behaviour towards female actors is objectionable and unacceptable due to which many of the actresses are avoiding to work with Nawaz.
The suit claims that the offending report showed Shamas as someone with an attitude problem who is difficult to work with. The defamatory portrayal is contrary to truth.
When Nawaz was asked about the selection of Mouni for the film, he said that “Mouni is still an unearthed talent and she believes in experimenting with her acting and I feel she is the perfect choice for the kind of character which is designed for her and we hope to do some wonders on the screen. I am really excited to work on this project, it’s something new.”
While Nawazuddin was last seen in Ritesh Batra’s Photograph, Mouni made her debut in Akshay Kumar starrer Gold.
