Hyderabad: Police register a rape case against Film Producer Karim Morani
— ANI (@ANI_news) January 18, 2017
According to ANI, Hyderabad Police filed a rape case against the producer of the hit Bollywood film Chennai Express on Wednesday afternoon. No further details have been released by the police.
Associated with Rohit Shetty's 2013 hit movie, Morani is known to be a close collaborator of superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Morani has also produced films like Ra.One, Yodha and Dum. He was also associated with films like Happy New Year and Dilwale.
Morani is part of the trio behind Cineyug Entertainment, a Mumbai-based production and events company.
Bollywood’s filmi galas, weddings and stage shows are incomplete without the Morani brothers – Aly, Karim and Mohammad. Amir Morani, the eldest brother has retired and is no longer a partner at Cineyug Films, which was launched in 1997.
Cineyug Films landed in rough waters when the CBI uncovered its links with Swan Telecom and Dynamix Realty, both involved in the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
