Filmmaker Subhash Kapoor, who is celebrating Jolly LLB’s double win in the recently announced National Film Awards — in the Best Film and Best Supporting Actor (Saurabh Shukla) categories — has left behind the Geetika Tyagi molestation controversy.

 Early this year, the journalist-turned-actress had accused Subhash of molesting her. She said the incident had taken place at her residence about two years back. Soon after the controversy erupted, there were reports of the director and the actress planning to take legal course. It was even said that Subhash wanted to take legal action against Geetika for character assassination.

 But it looks like the filmmaker, who has been keeping a low profile since then, is now keen to bury the past and get busy with work. He said, “As far as the case is concerned, I am not going to pursue it. I am not doing anything about it.” Geetika was not available for comment.
