Sangli resident accuses Palash Muchhal of cheating Rs 40 lakh

Vidnyan Mane, a local resident, on Tuesday submitted an application seeking an FIR against Muchhal to the Sangli Superintendent of Police, an official said.

Music composer and singer Palash Mucchal is at the centre of another controversy as he is been accused of cheating an actor and producer of Rs 40 lakh.

Vidyan Mane, 34, approached the police in Maharashtra's Sangli district on Thursday. However, no First Information Report has been registered in the case so far.

According to the complaint, Mucchal met Mane in Sangli on December 5, 2023. As Mane showed interest in investing in film production, Muchhal said he could invest in his upcoming project Nazaria as a producer.

Mucchal had allegedly said that Mane could earn a profit of Rs 12 lakh on an investment of Rs 25 lakh once the film was released on OTT platforms.

Trusting Mucchal, Mane allegedly invested a total of Rs 40 lakh on the project as of March 2025.

The project, however, was not completed, due to which Mane demanded his money back but allegedly got no response.

Police are conducting preliminary probe.
