The latest development emerged at a meeting of the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) held on August 18, where Singh’s legal team reportedly made its position clear: the industry body should stay out of the dispute, and any decision against the actor could prompt legal action.As per a new report, Singh’s lawyers submitted a fresh letter during the meeting, arguing that IMPPA did not have the authority to adjudicate the matter. The letter reportedly warned that if the association were to pass a resolution against the actor, he would seek legal recourse.This is reportedly not the first time Singh’s legal representatives have asked IMPPA to reject the complaint.
