Johnny, the producer of the film 'Mike Testing 123', has lodged a complaint against director Veeru Potla (Bindaas, Ragada and Doosukeltha fame) for allegedly cheating him by claiming the ownership of the project. Banjara Hills police have registered a case in this regard against Veeru Potla and his brother Raju after receiving the directions of a local court.
According to the version of the complainant, Raju has taken the hard disc containing the film from him on grounds that Veeru Potla is yet to complete the post-production work of the movie. Later, the producer who shelled out Rs 60 lakhs on the project came to know that Veeru Potla and Raju have changed the title of his film and also claiming to be its producers.
Case has been booked against Veeru Potla and Raju under sections 420 (Cheating) and 406 (Criminal Breach of Trust) of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
