He said, “I had given Ameesha and Kuunal Rs 2.5 crore when they visited Ranchi in March last year for an event. They had told me the film would release by June 2018 and would be a profitable venture for me. It has yet to arrive at the theatres and when I badgered them, they promised to return my money with interest in two-three months.” He even disclosed that Patel and Goomer gave him a cheque of Rs 3 crore which bounced and when he complained they made it clear to him that they have no intention of refunding him the amount.  He claims that they even threatened him by showing Patel’s photos with some influential people. Both Patel and Goomer have remained unavailable for comments.
