AR Rahman is again embroiled in a new controversy. On Wednesday, India Today reported that the surgeons' association, ASICON, has filed a complaint against him. In response, Rahman's legal team earlier this week sent a notice to ASICON demanding Rs 10 crore in damages for trying to defame him.
In the notice, Rahman has asked the association to pull out the complaint against him in three days and also refuted the allegations, mentioning that there were three parties involved in the transactions, which he had no idea about.
As per reports, the complaint was filed on September 27 by the surgeons' association seeking a refund of Rs 29.50 lakh, which they claimed was paid to the musician for a performance in 2018. It also stated that he has refused to return the payment in the last two years and has also declined their requests for the same.
What did AR Rahman say in his countersuit?
In his countersuit, AR Rahman has not only denied all the allegations but has also demanded an unconditional apology from the surgeons' association for maligning his reputation along with a massive Rs 10 crore compensation.
The legal notice also states that if the association does not adhere to these conditions, the Jai Ho composer will proceed with criminal action and legal proceedings.
This is the second controversy involving the renowned composer in the last few weeks. In September, numerous people from his Chennai concert alleged mismanagement and chaos, with many women blaming harassment and molestation at the venue.
