New Delhi: Conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s efforts to woo Jacqueline Fernandez did not end at loading her with expensive gifts, luxury items, cars and a horse.
Sukesh promised to produce a series of films for Jacqueline. Using fake alibis and dropping names of A-list producers, Sukesh allegedly told Jacqueline that he would even produce a Rs 500 crore three-part woman superhero project with her, India Today reported.
“Sukesh knew very well that Jacqueline was looking for work in Bollywood. She wasn’t signing too many films and he used her vulnerability to woo her even more. In one such conversation, he promised her that he would produce India’s first woman superhero project with her that would involve Hollywood VFX artists, and it will be shot on a global scale. He told Jacqueline that she resembled Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie and she deserved a superhero series made around her.”
The report further added that although Jacqueline treaded with caution, she was also partially convinced that he would actually mount a project of this scale for her. Sukesh did adequate homework and research on film budgets, production and dropped a lot of industry names to her during all these conversations, said the report.
Sukesh Chandrasekhar is currently in Delhi’s Tihar Jail for extorting Rs 200 crore from a businessman’s wife even while he was behind bars.
According to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), he was in regular contact with Jacqueline from February 2021 till he got arrested on August 7, 2021
