Pritam Chakraborty files police complaint after Rs 40 lakh stolen from his Mumbai office

-

Music director Pritam Chakraborty has reportedly fallen victim to a major theft, with around Rs 40 lakh in cash allegedly stolen from his Mumbai office. The incident was discovered recently, leading Pritam to file a police complaint. An FIR has been registered, and authorities have launched an investigation into the matter.

Pritam Chakraborty’s manager has filed a complaint at Malad police station after a staff member allegedly stole ₹40 lakh from the composer’s office. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Ashish Sayal, is currently on the run. Police have formed teams to track him down.

The theft reportedly took place around 2 PM on February 4 at Pritam Chakraborty’s Goregaon-based music studio, Unimus Record Pvt. Ltd. A production house representative had delivered a bag containing ₹40 lakh in cash to Pritam’s manager, Vineet Chedda. At the time, staff members Ashish Sayal, Ahmed Khan, and Kamal Disha were present. Authorities are investigating the case and questioning those involved.

An officer said, “The manager, who took the cash, kept it in a trolley bag in the office and subsequently went to Chakraborty’s house, which is in the same building, to get his signature on some documents.”

Upon returning, Chedda found that the trolley bag containing the cash had vanished. When questioned, other staff members claimed that Ashish Sayal had taken the bag, stating he was transporting it to Pritam’s residence.

Police revealed that Chedda attempted to contact Ashish Sayal, but his calls went unanswered. His suspicions grew when Sayal switched off his phone entirely. Realizing something was amiss, Chedda promptly informed Pritam Chakraborty, who instructed him to file a complaint with the authorities immediately.

“On the music composer’s advice, he approached the police station and lodged a complaint. A case of theft has been registered, and we are trying to trace the suspect. We are reaching out to his relatives and also working on leads through his mobile phone’s call data record,” an officer said.

Authorities are continuing their investigation, but the stolen money has not yet been recovered. Pritam’s spokesperson confirmed to ETimes that the police are handling the matter but declined to comment further.

Pritam, known for composing hit soundtracks for Barfi!, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and Brahmāstra, has yet to make a public statement on the theft.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
