Last week on Saturday, the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate Court ordered the police to investigate a complaint filed by Bollywood casting director and fitness trainer, Munawwar Ali Sayyed. The complainant referred to Ranaut and her sister's tweets and other statements and said that she has been defaming Bollywood for the last two months by calling it a "hub of nepotism", "favouritism", etc, through her tweets and television interviews.

The complainant also alleged that Kangana has tweeted "very objectionable" comments, which not only hurt his religious sentiments but also the feelings of many artists, and that she was trying to divide artists on communal lines.
