As per a report by India Today, it was earlier notified that Ram Gopal Varma has been convicted for a cheque bounce case. In regard to the same, the filmmaker was sentenced to 3 months in jail.
Moreover, the Andheri court has added that RGV must pay a compensation of Rs 3.72 lakhs to the complainant in three months time. If failed to do the same, the filmmaker might face an additional three months in jail as well.
Apparently, the complaint filed against the director was by the company Shree back in 2018. As the director has faced many unsuccessful ventures in cinema over the last few years, it is said he has been facing financial troubles for some time.
After the advent of COVID-19, the situation had apparently worsened, which resulted in him even selling his office space. In 2022, the director was even granted bail for the same, which was given after he presented a cash security of Rs 5,000.
Moving forward, Ram Gopal Varma was last seen helming the movie Vyuham. The biographical political thriller focused on the unexpected events that led to the untimely death of former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Rajasekhara Reddy, and subsequently the formation of the YSR Congress Party by his son YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The film was released in two parts with the GOAT fame, Ajmal Ameer, in the lead role. Moreover, RGV also appeared in a cameo role for Prabhas' Kalki 2898 AD.
