For the unversed, Akhtar had lodged a criminal complaint against Ranaut in November last year before the Andheri metropolitan magistrate. He accused Ranaut of making defamatory and baseless comments against him in television interviews. He said that it has caused damage to his reputation.

He alleged that Kangana had dragged his name while referring to a "privilege club" in the industry while talking about the death of Sushant Singh Rajput in the media.

The complaint said Kangana had falsely claimed that Akhtar threatened her to keep silent about her alleged relationship with actor Hrithik Roshan. It noted that Kangana's remarks had tarnished Akhtar's public image.

The court on January 17 allowed the police time till February 1 to file a report of their probe into the defamation complaint.
