Lingusamy Sentenced To 6 Months Imprisonment In Cheque Fraud Case Against THIS Production House!

While the Saidapet court sentenced famous director Lingusamy to 6 months imprisonment in a cheque fraud case, now the Chennai Principal Sessions Court has confirmed the sentence.

Lingusamy made his debut as a promising director in Tamil cinema with the Mammootty-starrer Anandham. After the success of Anandham, he directed films such as Run, Paiya, Sandakozhi, Bheema, Ji, Anjaan and Warrior.

Apart from that, he runs a production company named Tirupati Brothers and is producing many films. In particular, he has produced many hit films including Diwali, Kumki, Vazhakku En 18in Keezh 9, Ivan Vera Mathiri, Goli Soda, Manjappai.

At the same time, Anjaan, directed and produced by Lingusamy starring Suriya, was released in 2014 amid great expectations and turned into a flop. The next big fall for Lingusamy, who suffered a huge loss, was Kamal Haasan's Utthama Villain. Due to this, Lingusamy was stuck in a heavy financial burden.

It was at this stage that he took a loan of Rs 1.3 crores from the famous production company PVP Capitals for the production of a new film titled "Enni Yezhu Naal". Karthi and Samantha were signed to act in that movie. However, the shooting of the film did not go as planned. It was eventually abandoned.

At the same time, PVP Capitals filed a case in the High Court claiming that Lingusamy had not repaid the loan of Rs 1.3 crores within the mentioned period. Following the court order, Lingusamy submitted the cheques. A cheque for Rs 35 lakh bounced due to insufficient funds in the bank account.

Following this, the PVP company filed a cheque fraud case against Lingusamy in Saidapet court. The trial court sentenced Lingusamy to 6 months imprisonment and ordered him to pay the debt along with interest. Against this, Lingusamy filed an appeal in the Chennai District Principal Sessions Court. Judge Alli, who handled the case, dismissed his appeal.
