    Scam

    How did the issue come to light?

    This whole issue came to light when Maan Singh, a film producer from Mumbai filed a complaint.

    He had signed a pact with Mourya to sell his film on OTT platforms.

    According to the pact, Mourya was to be paid Rs. 10 lakh for selling each film to digital platforms.

    Singh also showed documents of films that he apparently sold on various platforms.

    Details

    How did Mourya convince Singh?

    The deal was finalized after Mourya claimed in January 2021 that the production label Panorama Studios has shown interest to buy Singh's film for Rs. 4cr.

    To note, the production banner is known for making popular movies such as Drishyam, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and Raid to name a few.

    So, Singh started working on his film titled MD Platinum after seeing the documents produced.

    Here's how much Mourya extracted from Singh

    Under the pretext of selling his movie, Mourya slowly started to extract money from Singh.

    What started with Rs. 2.50 lakh as a payment for the officials in Panorama Studios, led to massive payments.

    Mourya also extracted money suggesting that the story of MD Platinum needs to be tweaked.

    He was paid Rs. 48 lakh, after which Singh started to sense something was amiss.
