Rajkumar Hirani
Yesterday, the survivor, who had worked with Raju Hirani in Sanju, provided the printed text messages and mails exchanged between the two to Huffington post India.
In response, Hirani's statement read, "I was completely shocked when these allegations were brought to my notice about two months back. I had suggested immediately that it is essential to take this matter to any committee or any legal body. The complainant has chosen to go to the media instead. I want to very strongly state that this is a false malicious and mischievous story being spread with the sole intention of destroying my reputation."
