A local businessman had moved court in this case. Santoshi is maker of some superhit Hindi films like Ghayal, Ghatak and Damini. He was in need of money for making films, following which, his friend and Jamnagar based businessman Ashok Lal had given him Rs. 1 crore on debt. 

Rakumar Sanoshi had given 10 cheques of Rs. 10 lakh each to Santoshi for repayment. However all cheques bounced due to lack of sufficient balance in Santoshi’s bank account.

Lal had served legal notice which remained unanswered. He later in 2017 filed case under negotiable instrument act. Santoshi was summoned too in this case.
