Vikram Bhatt Booked in Rs 30 Crore Fraud Case in Udaipur as He Denies Allegations

Police in Udaipur have opened an inquiry into alleged misuse of film financing following a complaint by the Indira IVF founder.

Overview

  • An FIR filed on November 8 at Bhupalpura police station names filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, his wife Shwetambari Bhatt, daughter Krishna Bhatt, and several associates including Dinesh Kataria and Mehboob.
  • Complainant Dr Ajay Murdia alleges he was cheated of over Rs 30 crore after funding a proposed biopic of his late wife and other projects that were pitched with promises of large profits.
  • Udaipur SP Yogesh Goyal said the complaint cites a contract to produce four films, claims the production house failed to meet terms, alleges two completed works lacked proper attribution, and says the highest‑budget film never began.
  • Bhatt has rejected the accusations as misleading, suggested forged documents were used, and said he will cooperate with investigators and present evidence.
  • Bhatt also alleges Dr Murdia halted a separate film titled Virat and left technicians unpaid, a counterclaim now part of the broader dispute under police review.
