Ace producer Gaurang Doshi who was recently in the news for bringing together the biggest names of Hollywood & Bollywood for two music videos ft. Lil Pump, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Jason Derulo, Urvashi Rautela, Erica Fernandez & DJ Shadow Dubai for the promotional tracks of his multi-starrer crime thriller web series – ‘7th Sense’ was conned by Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha of Anandita Entertainment in the pretext of his web series ‘7th Sense’ & multiple big budget films which later turned out to be fake. Not only Gaurang, even Vivek Oberoi have fallen prey to this atrocious con.
The complainants, Gaurang Doshi & Vivek Oberoi have alleged that they were trapped into an investment scheme floated by Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha of Anandita Entertainment Llp. Both Raadhika & Sanjay lured Gaurang to spend an exorbitant sum of 1 crore 55 lakhs. Raadhika & Sanjay claimed that they have 8 renowned Bollywood writers on board whereas none of the named writers were associated with the said project, it turned out to be a fake, non- existent project. Apart from 1 crore 55 lakhs, both Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha asked Gaurang to send luxury gifts involving brands like Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior to a number of renowned names working with a global OTT platform as a goodwill gesture to fast track the process. It was later discovered that all the gifts didn’t reach the desired receiver, it was received by Raadhika & Sanjay.
After an extensive enquiry on the Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha it was discovered that the two have conned multiple people in the past after promising them their designated roles in the project. They have also conned many innocent artists from the film industry & taken monetary advantage of them. A source reveals they have been involved in multiple tax frauds and non-payment to employees and vendors as well in the past and have been switching company names under different registrations in order to avoid taxes.
There are already 39 existing petitions filed against them and many more would follow as and when the victims will reveal about their fraud activities
Elaborating further about the con, Gaurang Doshi says “I was introduced to Sanjay and Raadhika through my dear friend Vivek who unfortunately didn’t know that even he is also a mere victim of their con activities. They made several fake rather convincing commitments which looked very fancy in the initial days but as the days passed and I was not getting any results for the huge amount of money and other investments I had paid for, their true colours started to reveal. It came to my notice that they were trying to sell the project to other people and OTT platforms by removing my name and claiming it’s their project. When questioned they started with ignoring the calls and later blocked numbers feeling there was no way to reach out to them. Fortunately our industry is like a happy family and frauds like them don’t have a place in this. Gradually I started hearing from other people about the cons they had played with them and the amount of money they had taken and later blocked the contacts. May justice prevail upon all who have been cheated by them and no one else has to go through the trauma they cause in one’s life. For no rime or reason my project was delayed and negativity was spread despite me being the victim of their criminal activities. All’s well that ends well, karma will serve all who have done wrong and tried to sabotage my name just to fill their pockets”
Vivek Oberoi says “It saddens me deeply to see the immense extent of their fraud. When you believe in people who come to you asking for support and help and they end up defrauding you with the intent to cheat not only you but other innocent people using your name, it’s truly disturbing. It is disgusting to hear that unsuspecting investors were baited through calls and websites with lofty promises and then duped of their savings. Even simple employees were cheated out of their hard earned salaries. I’m sure justice will prevail, the system will punish them for their crimes and the universe will punish them for their bad karma”
