Businessman Raj Kundra is throwing his weight behind an upcoming film project inspired by his prison time in Mumbai. In September 2021, Kundra found himself embroiled in controversy over his alleged involvement in the creation and distribution of explicit content through mobile apps.

Speculation had been rife that this film would mark his debut as an actor, but it appears that this is not the case. Sources close to the project clarify: “Such claims are purely speculative. However, he may make a special appearance.”

The source adds, “The project does not revolve around the controversy or its origins. Instead, it will just focus on his time in jail, delving into his interactions within the prison and his personal reflections.” 

Many aspects of the project remain shrouded in mystery, including the timeline. “Raj will actively participate in all facets of the project. Casting and the director have yet to be finalised, but it’s been suggested that stand-up comic Munawar Faruqui may feature, albeit not in a leading role,” the source says. The film is slated to commence production early next year.
