If Bhojpuri actor Satyendra Singh is to be believed, actress Daisy Shah, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, director V K Singh and 18 other crewmembers from the film Soda, are out to kill him. At least that’s what the First Information Report (FIR) filed by him (as shown in the pic) in Uttar Pradesh states.

The actor, also the president of the now dissolved political party Rashtrawadi Samajwadi Party, has filed a case against the trio, among others, in Uttar Pradesh’s Mainpuri district. “I was working on a film called Soda, where Daisy was playing the lead with me and Ganesh was choreographing the song. I had written the script for it. However, within two days of the film’s shoot at Kamalistan studio, the crew tried to throw me out of the project. I was told that Daisy wanted to work with a known star and wanted me out,” he says.
The politician- turned- actor also makes a serious accusation about an attempt to his life being made too. “I met with an accident in December. Initially, I thought it was a minor accident but later on, I realised that the person in the car was trying to overtake me and push me from the bridge.” says Singh, His FIR says this attempt was made he has invested a lot of money in this project.

When contacted, Ganesh denied knowledge of such an FIR. “I am not aware of such a person or a complaint.”

Daisy reiterated that she has only shot one song for the film. “I shot this song around 16 months ago and I have moved on since then. I have nothing to do with the film’s cast and crew now,” she replied.
