Swastika Mukherjee files complaint against producer Sandeep Sarkar for threatening emails & morphed pictures

Actress Swastika Mukherjee revealed some significant complaints against Sandeep Sarkar, the co-producer of her next Bengali movie Shibpur. The actor claimed that she got threatening emails from Sandeep and his associates asking her to "cooperate" with them before the film's release. She further stated that they threatened to leak her modified, "nude" images on websites that feature pornography.

Talking about her harassment, Swastika revealed, "It all started pretty randomly. During the entire course of shooting and dubbing, I have never been introduced to Sandeep Sarkar. It was another co-producer Ajanta Sinha Roy who communicated with us. Suddenly, Sandeep Sarkar started sending me threatening emails. He claimed that he was an American citizen and that if I didn’t ‘cooperate’ with them he would get in touch with the US Consulate so that I never get a US visa. He also threatened to drag me to the Police Commissioner, Chief Minister, and so on. Now I have absolutely no idea what this ‘cooperation’ means. I shot the film and dubbed it and I never intended not to participate in promotional activities. Initially, the film was scheduled to release in March".

She further added, "I emailed my available dates to them. There was no response. Later, they shifted the release. And yet they did not bother to let me know. I got to know it from our director and again mailed him my available dates. By then he was supposed to helm the promotional activities. Now, what are they even talking about? There have been no marketing or PR plans that I received. In fact, when they released the poster, I shared it on my social media also.”
