Violent attacks and accusations became a part of the Verma residence after Manohar Verma, action director of Madras Cafe, accused his step brother Tinnu Verma of attacking and injuring him over a property issue. Manohar claimed that Tinnu lost his temper over a family dispute and physically hit him at their Malad farmhouse. Apparently, Manohar who returned home late night after a special screening of his latest release was awakened the next morning when he saw Tinnu's men carrying out some construction inside his premises. When he intervened, not only did the boys attack him but according to Manohar's statements, even his stepbrother Tinnu injured his legs with a sword when he tried to stop the boys. Manohar was initially rushed to the nearest hospital in Malad and now has been shifted to another suburban hospital.

Doctors' claim that a surgery of the legs will be required which will keep Manohar away from action for about four to six months. However, the Verma family has a different version. Accusing Manohar, the family revealed that he too had barged into Tinnu's house last month and had abused his wife. For now, a case under IPC section 307 has been registered against Tinnu but the action director seems to be missing since the incident.
