The matter has now entered legal proceedings, with allegations of financial fraud against producer couple Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla. The actress claims that the producers approached her, offering her a role in the upcoming film and promising her a 20% share of the profits which were projected to exceed Rs 15 crore. In exchange, they persuaded her to invest Rs 5 crore into the project.
