‘’When I met his mother (Amita Muchhal) last month, she said the budget to release the movie has now increased to ₹1.5 crore. They asked me to invest another ₹10 lakh or I wouldn’t get any money back. They started blackmailing me and threatened to throw me out of the film, thus I was forced to file a complaint,'' he said.

After the wedding was called off, Mane claimed that the family blocked him from everywhere and that the movie he invested in has still not materialised.

He further added that he received threats from the family, warning him that he would not be part of the film.

He also shared that he has proof against the Muchhal family. “I have saved all proofs including my chats and phone conversations that I’m willing to share with the police and the media.”

Muchhal responds to the claims, stating that they are entirely baseless and factually incorrect.

Soon after Mane’s interview brought the cheating saga back into the limelight, Muchhal shared a statement on his Instagram stories, saying,'' claims against me are entirely baseless and factually incorrect.''

They have been made with malicious intent to tarnish my reputation, and they will not go unchallenged. My lawyer, Shreyansh Mithare, is exploring all legal avenues, and this matter will be dealt with strictly through the appropriate legal channels,” he wrote.
