Actor Nana Patekar refused to take quesions on the sexual harassment allegations made by actress Tanushree Dutta.


Walking to his Mumbai residence, Patekar said his lawyers have asked him not to speak to the media. "Whatever I have to say I said 10 years ago. The truth which was there 10 years back, stands true even today," he said refusing to elaborate.


In fact, Patekar, was to address the media Monday but the press conference was abruptly called off. A message was sent out to the media last night by Nana's son Malhar, stating the press conference would not take place.


The 67-year-old actor's lawyer has sent a legal notice to Dutta for allegedly making false accusations against him in an incident that dates back to a decade.Dutta has said that Patekar had harassed her during the shooting of a film in 2008 and she had spoken out about the incident but nothing happened and she was even thrown out of the film.


Dutta has also filed a complaint with the Mumbai police against Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya and the director and producer of the 2008 film. Patekar, who was shooting for upcoming film Housefull 4 in Jodhpur with actors Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon and others, returned to Mumbai on Saturday. "I said this 10 years ago... a lie is a lie (Dus saal pehle bol chuka hoon, ab jo jhoot hai woh jhoot hai')," Patekar had said.
