Ravindar Chandrasekaran, a well known producer and actor Mahalakshmi’s husband, landed into a legal soup over cheating allegations. According to a report in The Hindu, the producer was reportedly arrested on Thursday by The Entrustment Document Fraud (EDF) Wing-I of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) for allegedly cheating a businessman of Rs 15.83 crore. The news of Chandrasekaran’s arrest sent shock waves in the entertainment industry.

The Hindu claims that he created fictitious paperwork that guaranteed substantial returns on investments made in projects (meant to produce power from solid waste). Balaji, a citizen of Chennai, fell prey to this purportedly bogus ploy.
