The makers are in the final stages to present a film commemorating the diverse and intense experiences that Raj Kundra went through during his tenure in India’s most overcrowded Jail, Arthur Road Jail, wherein the businessman will make his film debut as an actor. 


One of the most controversial topics, that created a stir amongst the media, is the ongoing court case on businessman Raj Kundra over allegations of being involved in the production of porn films. 


A source reveals, “The film will present an account of all that Raj Kundra experienced through his tenure in one of most over-crowded jail – Arthur Road Jail. The director’s name has been kept under wraps for now, but Raj Kundra will be creatively involved in all aspects – from production to script. It will trace the entire journey of Raj Kundra – from the first reports of the allegations to the media reporting, time spent in jail to the bail. It’s more of a story from Kundra and his family’s point of view.”


With the film being the first public insight into the case, excitement is sure to be at an all-time high revolving around the details of the film.

Back in Feburary 2021, Raj Kundra’s alleged involvement in a pornography ring was uncovered. The Property Cell of Mumbai Crime Branch apprehended Raj Kundra in July, 2021. According to the Mumbai police commissioner, Kundra held a significant role as the main instigator in the case, and there was substantial evidence linking him to the illegal activities. He was eventually released from prison on September 20, 2021. 

The Mumbai police's Property Cell recently dismantled a group engaged in producing pornographic movies disguised as short films for OTT platforms. According to the crime branch, the accused would shoot the explicit content and then send it to a foreign-based company via a popular file-sharing service. These videos were subsequently uploaded on various apps to avoid detection by Indian law enforcement agencies.
