Well, it’s likely that the case sees an out of court settlement, as the complainant has now informed a local court that she doesn’t want to proceed further with the case.
The case was filed against the director and others based on a complaint filed by actor Meghna Nair, at the Panangad police station in Ernakulam, alleging that the director had used a body double in a way that was intended to harm the actor's reputation.
