Bandla Ganesh fined, granted bail

Controversial film producer Bandla Ganesh has been sentenced to six months jail term and a fine of Rs. 15.86 lacs in relation to the pending remuneration that he owes to writer Vakkantham Vamsi.

Vamsi, who had penned the story of Puri Jagannadh-NTR's 'Temper', produced by Ganesh, didn't receive any remuneration.  The producer had issued a cheque worth Rs. 25 lacs in Vamsi's favour, but the same was not honoured.  

Over the years, the payment has been pending.  Tired, the writer moved a special court in Erramanjil, Hyderabad. 

Ganesh, who is no stranger to such financial controversies, has been granted bail.
