In a written response sent to India Today, French filmmaker categorically denied having any financial dealings ever with Reliance entertainment, "Rouge International has no past or current relationship with Reliance Entertainment, Reliance Entertainment never invested in Rouge International, neither in the past nor in the present and there has been no dealing contacts between the two companies."
Reacting to Congress party's charge on the defence deal, BJP MP Subramanian Swami said, "If Congress party has proof against the deal, they should immediately move to the court as I did in many cases".
