Actor Shreyas Talpade has issued an official statement in the context of a multi-crore scam in which his name was allegedly involved.

Shreyas Talpade's social media team took to his Instagram handle to clarify the situation, wherein they shared a lengthy note of three slides that read, 'It is deeply unfortunate that in today's world, a person's hard-earned reputation appears to be vulnerable to undue tarnishment by unfounded rumours. Recent reports alleging Mr. Shreyas Talpade's involvement in fraud or misconduct are completely false, baseless and devoid of any merit whatsoever. As a public figure, Mr. Talpade, like many other celebrities, is frequently invited to various corporate and annual events, which he attends as and when possible. Beyond such appearances, he has no association whatsoever with the company in question. Needless to say, Mr. Talpade has no nexus whatsoever with any fraudulent or unlawful acts as are being alleged and/or circulated.

Further, his team urged everyone to verify as well as fact-check the news.' We urge everyone to verify facts before spreading misinformation and request that Mr. Talpade's name be kept away from these baseless rumors. Mr. Talpade is a law abiding citizen who remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, honesty and professionalism in all of his endeavours.'

However, Shreyas will be seen in his upcoming film 'Welcome To The Jungle,' wherein he will share the screen with Akshay Kumar, respectively.
