Renowned filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi finds himself in a legal quagmire following the bouncing of 10 cheques, leading to his recent incarceration. The filmmaker’s financial troubles have not only landed him behind bars but have also cast a shadow over the much-anticipated Aamir Khan starrer, ‘Lahore 1947,’ which now faces a two-year setback.
The legal saga dates back to 2017 when Rajkumar Santoshi was initially summoned in connection to financial matters. However, he allegedly ignored the court notices, pushing the situation to a point where a bailable warrant was eventually issued against him for non-payment of dues.
This unexpected turn of events has not only impacted Santoshi personally but has also had far-reaching consequences for the film industry. ‘Lahore 1947,’ a cinematic venture featuring Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol, now finds itself in a state of limbo, with a projected delay of two years in its production timeline.
The filmmaker’s failure to address the financial issues promptly has not only affected his personal standing but has also raised questions about financial management within the industry. As legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how this development will impact both Rajkumar Santoshi’s career and the fate of the eagerly awaited cinematic project ‘Lahore 1947.’
