Mumbai: A case has been filed after a fake Instagram profile in the name of filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani’s son advertised for aspiring actors to audition for an upcoming movie.

Hirani’s office complained to Andheri police after they got a mail asking if the advertisement posted through @kabir_hirani (www.instagram.com/Kaaabiirrr/) about an upcoming film, ‘Teenage Cinema’, was genuine.

The post advertised “urgent requirement for male and female, age between 18 and 25; even freshers can apply. Need male/female model as main lead role. Need male/female for a negative role. DM if interested and to know about payment details @hirani.rajkumar movie; name 3 teenagers for auditions, address mentioned in my bio. This movie will be released in theatres, payment is (Rs) 20 cr”.

A police officer said the fraudster even communicated with aspirants impersonating as Hirani’s son. “The cyber police team is helping in tracking down the accused and probe is on to know how many people have got duped,” he added.

The officer said the fraudster has advertised that those interested will be offered Rs 20 crore for the role.
