According to the complaint, Nawazuddin Siddiqui selected Shamasuddin as his manager in 2008 and "blindly" allotted all financial responsibilities to him.
However, as per the complaint, Shamasuddin began defrauding and cheating Siddiqui and purchased properties with the actor's money.
It added that Shamasuddin encouraged Aaliya to submit a false case against Siddiqui after the actor learned about the fraud and raised questions.
The actor alleged that Aaliya and Shamsuddin took Rs 21 crore from him.
When Siddiqui requested the return of his properties, Shamasuddin and Aaliya joined together and started blackmailing the actor by posting "cheap videos and comments on social media," according to the complaint.
