Dutta also named choreographer Ganesh Acharya in the complaint.
Patekar has denied the allegations and had sent Dutta a legal notice to withdraw the claims and issue an apology.
Ganesh Acharya also denied the incident.
The 34-year-old Dutta filed the complaint in Mumbai on Saturday. She said that Patekar, 67, was inappropriate during a song sequence for the 2008 move ‘Horn OK Pleassss’.
"Tanushree Dutta has given us a complaint against Nana Patekar. As of now there is not any FIR registered in this case," Additional Commissioner of Police (West) Manoj Kumar Sharma told news agency PTI.
Dutta’s claims sparked a number of allegations against men in India’s media and entertainment industry. Dutta also said that she received threats of a ‘violent attack’ from activists of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena political party when she had protested the incident ten years ago.
She has also accused Vivek Agnihotri of inappropriate behaviour on the set of a 2005 film.
Agnihotri’s lawyers denied the charges and sent Dutta a legal notice for defamation.
