Kangana Ranaut and Javed Akhtar are engaged in a legal fight since November 2020. The duo keeps making headlines for multiple reasons related to the matter. As per the latest update, a sessions court on Wednesday rejected Kangana Ranaut's application seeking transfer of the defamation case filed against her by Javed Akhtar from the magistrate's court in suburban Andheri.
Besides that, the court also refused to transfer her counter-complaint against the lyricist, filed before the Andheri court elsewhere. The detailed order passed by the second additional principal and sessions judge (Dindoshi) S S Oza was not available immediately, via Times of India.
The Queen actress in her application had claimed that the 10th Metropolitan Magistrate's Court (Andheri) showed "bias and prejudice towards her" by not granting her permanent exemption from appearance and also threatened to issue an arrest warrant against her for a "bailable and non-cognizable offense." Last year in October, CMM had rejected a similar plea, following which the actress had moved the sessions court.

For the uninitiated, Javed Akhtar filed the complaint before the Andheri Magistrate in November 2020, alleging that the actress made defamatory statements against him during an interview which damaged his reputation. He alleged that Kangana dragged his name for no reason while talking about the existence of a 'coterie' in Bollywood.
Kangana, on the other hand, filed a counter-complaint against Javed Akhtar, alleging "extortion and criminal intimidation."
On the work front, Kangana has many projects in the pipeline including Dhaakad, Tejas, Emergency, Manikarnika Returns: The Legend of Didda, and The Incarnation: Sita.
