A sessions court has confirmed the punishment of six months imprisonment given by a trial court to Mediaone Global Entertainment Ltd.’s director J. Murali Manohar, who produced the Rajinikanth-starrer ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ film in a cheque bounce case.
Manohar had approached the complainant, Ad Bureau Advertising Pvt. Ltd., represented by Abirchand Nahar, about venturing into the post-production of the film ‘Kochadaiiyaan’.
The complainant alleged the producer of the film had borrowed Rs 10 crore on April 28, 2014.
Manohar had agreed not to sell the rights to the film to any company without repaying the amount and promised to pay 20 per cent of the sale commission in case the rights to the film were sold to any third party in addition to the principal amount.
In December 2014, he issued a cheque for ₹5 crore towards the partial discharge of liability.
