Maharashtra Cyber has summoned actor Tamannaah Bhatia, also spelt as Tamanna Bhatia, to question her about the unauthorised streaming of IPL 2023 on the Fairplay App, ANI reported.
The alleged action reportedly led to significant financial losses for Viacom. The Baahubali actor is required to appear before the Nodal agency for cyber security and cybercrime investigation for Maharashtra on April 29.
Maharashtra Cyber asked Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt to appear on April 23. However, he did not show up. Instead, he asked to schedule a different time to record his statement, explaining that he was not in India on that date, ANI added.
