Simi claimed that her YouTube channel was hacked by Apu and Jahidul Islam. She had previously filed a general journal (GD) on the issue and sought resolution through the Film Producers and Distributors Association. However, when no solution was reached, she took the matter to court. In response, the court directed the Tejgaon police station to conduct an investigation and submit a report by December 11.

In response to news of the case filed against her, Apu expressed her frustration, saying, “Another case? I am tired of this woman (Simi Islam). He was given everything he asked for. What is the need for a case now? I’m not even aware of it – it’s too much.”

According to the details of the case, Apu Biswas allegedly received Tk 5 lakh from Simi Islam through Hero Alom. Addressing this claim, Apu remarked, “Where does Hero Alom fit into this? Simi would know better. I barely know him. What can I say? I have no idea where or to whom he gave the money. Why bring this up now? I trust the government and the legal system, I have no idea about her monetary transactions or the motives behind them.

Apu Biswas clarified that her YouTube channel is managed by another organization. She stated, “If she (Simi) sees herself as part of the film industry, it is disappointing that she prioritizes mundane issues at a time when our cinema is facing significant challenges. Also, I don’t personally manage the YouTube channel; my administrator. While the channel operates under my name and ownership, the control rests with another company, if it were my personal Facebook account, then perhaps I could step in directly.

Simi Islam’s debut production was ‘Oporadhi Badshah’ followed by ‘My Name is Simi’, ‘Tumi Acho Tumi Nei’ and ‘Nari Shakti’. She is currently working on two upcoming projects.
