Gehana Vasisth shared in an interview that she met Raj just a few days before his arrest. "There I got to know that he is planning to launch an app called Bollyfame. He was planning to do chat shows, reality shows, music videos and feature films for the app," she was quoted by Navbharat Times.

"There was no plan of involving 'bold scenes' in these films. We also discussed on the scripts. Then we thought about casting Shamita Shetty for one script, Sai Tamhankar and two other artists for another," Gehana added.

While she claimed that she never met Shamita Shetty nor does she know about "Shamita Shetty's fees or conditions" for the film, she was set to direct the film and "was thinking about it just a few days before his arrest."
