Mumbai: After alleging that Palash Muchhal owes him Rs 40 lakhs, actor-producer Vidnyan Mane has now revealed that the music composer’s wedding got cancelled after he was caught red-handed with a woman in bed on his wedding day.
Palash was beaten up by his would-be-bride Smriti Mandhana’s cricketer friends after cheating on her, alleged Vidnyan.
“I was at the wedding celebrations (November, 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Bhayanak scene tha, he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he’d get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me,” Vidnyan was quoted as saying by HT.
Vidnyan further shared that he is Smriti’s childhood friend and the Mandhana family introduced him to Palaash.
Talking about the Rs 40 lakh fraud, he added, “When I met his mother (Amita Muchhal) last month, she said the budget to release the movie has now increased to ₹1.5 crore. They asked me to invest another ₹10 lakh or I wouldn’t get any money back. They started blackmailing me and threatened to throw me out of the film, thus I was forced to file a complaint.”
He continued, “After the wedding was called off, the family blocked me from everywhere. I found out that other artistes from the movie had not received payment they were due to receive either. I had heard of directors fleecing producers in the film industry but this is complete theft.”
When asked about his future course of action, he said, “I have saved all proofs including my chats and phone conversations that I’m willing to share with the police and the media.”.
Meanwhile, responding to the allegations, Muchhal posted an Instagram story which read as, “In light of the allegations made by Sangli-based Vidnyan Mane on social media, I wish to state that these claims against me are entirely baseless and factually incorrect. They have been made with malicious intent to tarnish my reputation, and they will not go unchallenged. My lawyer, Shreyansh Mithare, is exploring all legal avenues, and this matter will be dealt with strictly through the appropriate legal channels.”
