Palaash Muchhal response on allegations

On Friday, Palash replied to the Rs.40 lakh fraud claims. He called them "baseless and factually incorrect" and said he will take legal steps. He blamed Sangli's Vidnyan Mane for trying to harm his name on purpose. He wrote, "In light of the allegations made by Sangli-based Vidnyan Mane on social media, I wish to state that these 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”.

Fraud allegations complaint details

A 34-year-old local actor-producer named Vidnyan Mane recently filed a complaint with Sangli police in Maharashtra, claiming Palash ditched him of Rs.40 lakh, as reported by PTI. No FIR has been lodged yet. On Tuesday, he approached the Superintendent of Police demanding action against Palash.

The complaint details their first meeting on December 5, 2023, in Sangli, where Palash pitched his film ‘Nazaria’ for investment after Mane showed interest in production. Palash allegedly promised Rs.12 lakh profit on a Rs.25 lakh stake post-OTT release, plus a role for Mane. They met twice more, and Mane handed over Rs.40 lakh total by March 2025. The project, however, was not completed, so Vidnyan demanded his money back, but allegedly got no response.
