Film producer Sourav Gupta has accused actor Sunny Deol of cheating and forgery.
Gupta, who owns the banner Sundwan Entertainment Pvt Ltd, alleged that actor Sunny has cheated him of a large amount of money.
As per the real estate developer, he approached Deol for a film in 2016 and even paid in advance for the same.
Speaking to IndiaToday.in, Gupta shared that Sunny Deol kept on delaying the film and even took money for the same but never started work on it.
“We paid Rs 1 crore to him as a signing amount. Instead of starting our film, he chose to work on Poster Boys (2017). I paid him more than Rs 2.55 crore and even changed the script and director on his persistence.
We even booked studios to begin shooting, but all in vain. We have been cheated by him and his team,” he said.
Further, Gupta also added that last year, Deol even forged an agreement as a means to siphon more money. “We had decided on Rs 4 crore as the signing amount but when we saw the agreement, we saw that it read Rs 8 crore.
He had also added Rs 2 crore as the profit-sharing amount. When I called these things out, his team had not been responding to us.
We even sent a notice but his team said he was not in the country,” he added.
The producer shared that he is only hoping to get justice after the entire incident. “I am an outsider who came to the industry to make films and also generate employment. However, I was deceived and I don’t know where’s the end to this. I have lost my hard-earned money to a powerful man.
Of course, there is no hope of collaborating with him, I just want justice. I want to get back my money,” Sourav told us.
Breaking down during the conversation he shared that Sunny Deol is not just an acclaimed actor but also an MP.
“When I went ahead to file a complaint, no was ready to believe it. No one is ready to support us,” he said.
We tried to reach out to Sunny Deol’s team but received no response.
