Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, known for his iconic films like Satya, has been sentenced to three months of imprisonment by the Andheri Magistrate Court in Mumbai. The sentence is related to a cheque bounce case that has been ongoing for the last seven years. The case involves a sum of Rs 2 lakh 38 thousand, stemming from a transaction with Varma’s ex-employee.

The court, after hearing the case for several years, issued a non-bailable warrant against the director on Tuesday. In response to the sentence, Ram Gopal Varma took to social media to clarify the situation. He explained that the case was related to his ex-employee and that his legal team was handling the matter. Varma also emphasized that since the matter is sub judice, he would refrain from making further comments on it.

This development adds to the legal challenges faced by the filmmaker, who is currently dealing with the consequences of the cheque bounce case.
