Ameesha Patel summoned by Ranchi Court in Rs 2.5 crore fraud case!

Kaho Na Pyaar Hai actress Ameesha Patel has landed herself in legal trouble. Film producer Ajay Kumar Singh has filed a case against the actress and her partner Kuunal Goomer. Singh has accused her of not returning the money she borrowed from him to make her film Desi Magic under their production house last year. He took the matter to court, which in turn has summoned Ameesha. 

Kumar Singh told IANS, “We have filed a case in a Ranchi court after a cheque of Rs 3 crore bounced. She has not been responding to anything with regard to the money she borrowed from me last year for the release of a film named ‘Desi Magic‘. Now she has been summoned by the court and she has to appear before the court on July 8.”

He further added, “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.” 

Singh, who has produced the upcoming film Family of Thakurganj, spilled some more details and said that he met the actress in 2017 when they had a discussion on the film, which was under production. 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.

“Initially, I was told that the film will release in June (this year). Then I was told that it will release in September. But I will get my money with interest by September. Though I was given a cheque of Rs 3 crore, it bounced. When I tried to do a follow-up, her whole attitude changed and she said I am a small investor and I should keep quiet. But it is my money,” informed the film producer. 

On the work front, Ameesha Patel was last seen in Bhaiyyaji Superhitt, which released last year. Ajay Kumar Singh has produced the upcoming film Family of Thakurganj, releasing on July 19 which stars Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill.
