Non-Bailable Warrant Issued Against Remo D’Souza for Fraud
Remo D’Souza has directed upcoming ‘Street Dancer’
A Ghaziabad court has issued a non-bailable warrant against choreographer Remo D'Souza in connection with an alleged case of fraud. The warrant was issued by additional chief judicial magistrate Mahendra Rawat and will be served to the choreographer in Mumbai after taking permission from Inspector General of Police, Meerut Zone, deputy superintendent of police Atish Kumar said.
As per law, permission is required for serving warrants in other states, he added. The complainant Satyendra Tyagi, a resident of Raj Nagar, Ghaziabad alleged that in 2016, D'Souza had taken Rs 5 crore from him to finance his upcoming film titled Amar Must Die.
The complainant claimed that the choreographer had promised to "double" the investment and return Rs 10 crore to him after the film released. However, D'Souza has not returned the money yet, he said in his complaint. As D'Souza, failed to appear in court, the non-bailable warrant was issued against him.
Remo D’Souza is directing upcoming Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Street Dancer. Producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series called the film “India’s biggest dance film”.
The first leg of the film was shot in Punjab after which it will move to London. It will also star Nora Fatehi and Sonam Bajwa and is being produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Lizelle D’Souza. Street Dancer is slated for a 2020 release.
In July, the cast and crew of the film wrapped up shoot of the film.
