Director Siddharth Malhotra files complaint after learning about misuse of his name

Mumbai: Director Siddharth Malhotra has filed a police complaint after discovering his name was being used to demand pictures of actresses.

Siddharth was on a holiday and he starting getting calls from a few actresses asking for details of the project. He was in a state of shock when he got to know of what was happening. He was shocked as he is personally not involved in the casting process. It is always done by a casting director and his team. When he returned home after a few days, he got more calls from other actresses. This prompted him to file a case with the Bandra police.

Siddharth says, “The police have already started investigation. I have tried to reach out to as many people as possible via social media to inform them about the impostor. The number has been traced to the US. Bandra police have also registered a case with the cyber cell. I hope the pictures of the actresses are not misused.”
