Producer accuses Ameesha Patel of ₹2.5 cr fraud after cheque bounces
Producer Ajay Kumar Singh has said he has moved a court in Ranchi against actress Ameesha Patel, accusing her of ₹2.5 crore fraud after she borrowed money for her film 'Desi Magic'.
"We've filed a case...after a cheque of ₹3 crore bounced," said Singh. He added that the actress has been summoned by the court on July 8.
“If she doesn’t come, a warrant will be issued against her. We went to court on June 17 with the request to issue a warrant since she is not responding, but the judge of the court suggested sending a summon by the police before an arrest warrant,” he added.
According to the producer, he met the actress in 2017 when they had a discussion on the film, which was under production and a major part of the shooting was done. However, the project got stuck in the middle due to some financial crisis and that is why Singh invested Rs 2.5 crore in the film.
Meanwhile, Singh has produced a movie named “Family of Thakurganj”, which is releasing on July 19.
