Vidnyan Mane plans criminal case after court tosses Palash Muchhal's defamation suit

Actor-producer Vidnyan Mane, a childhood friend of cricketer Smriti Mandhana, says the Bombay High Court has dismissed a defamation case filed against him by composer Palash Muchhal. Mane, who accused Muchhal of taking ₹40 lakh for an unfinished film, Nazaria, now plans criminal proceedings. Muchhal had denied Mane's allegations and sent him a ₹10 crore defamation notice; his legal team did not comment.
