Shamasuddin Siddiqui, who made a debut as the Bollywood director, has filed the defamation suit of up to Rs 100 crore against one publication.

Shamasuddin Siddiqui, who made a debut as the Bollywood director, has filed the defamation suit of up to Rs 100 crore against one publication and accused them of defaming his name with no substantial backing. Particularly, the publication has been laid a charge for claiming the director’s offensive behavior towards female actors. Hence, the publication also claims that it’s much more difficult for actresses to cooperate with him again as Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s brother Shamasuddin is shown as the one with the attitude-related problem.
