Malayalam actor Sidharth Bharathan said it was disheartening to notice that his name was being dragged into the actress attack case.
"I was shocked to see that many raised their fingers at me. It's a fake news and I wonder how such reports are getting widely circulated,'' said Sidharth, son of veteran actress K.P.A.C. Lalitha and late director Bharatan.
