Arindam Bhattacharya, currently in Delhi, told a media house, "Heard about it. Creative disagreements are bound to happen in any field. That's what happened in this case. I shouldn't make any comments from the outside." A source in Tollypara claims that the producer is innocent. Instead, he said the director had instigated Swastika to lodge this complaint, a media house reported.

Responding, the director told a media house, "This is a lie. I don't believe in any negative publicity.''And I will encourage an actress like Swastika!? Also, why will an actress suddenly complain without any reason?''

Shouvik Basu Thakur, the lawyer of the production company, told the media, "I came to know about the matter only through the media. My client did nothing of the sort. If necessary, we will talk to the actress. If someone has done anything wrong, my client does not support it. We stand by the actress.''
