Telugu TV media on Wednesday reported that Bandla Ganesh has been sentenced to a one-year jail term by a district court in Ongole. The order is in connection with a cheque bounce case. Ganesh was present for the hearing today.
One Jetti Venkateshwarlu had filed a complaint saying that Ganesh owed him Rs 95 lakh, which he must now clear within 30 days following the court order. An appeal to a higher court exists as an option for Ganesh.
The producer of films like 'Gabbar Singh' is known for his controversial speeches. In 2022, before the release of 'Chor Bazaar' (starring Puri Jagannadh's son Akash Puri in the lead), Ganesh offended the fans of Superstar Mahesh Babu. "I expected those actors who became superstars because of Puri Jagannadh, to support Akash Puri's movie. But they are too busy. If Akash becomes a star, it's they who will be at peril," Bandla said in an oblique reference to Mahesh Babu.
