Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Bollywood Stars Caught in Shocking Investment Scam: Govinda, Chunky Panday, Shakti Kapoor, and Manoj Tiwari Named in FIR! Imagine sinking your life savings into a "guaranteed" high-return scheme, only to watch it vanish—lured in by the smiling faces of your favorite Bollywood icons. That's the nightmare unfolding for investors in the **Maxizone Touch Private Limited** fraud case, where veteran actors **Govinda**, **Chunky Panday**, **Shakti Kapoor**, and BJP MP **Manoj Tiwari** have been named in a First Information Report (FIR).[1][2][3] ## The Scam Unraveled: Promises of 15% Monthly Returns Turn Sour It all started in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, where duped investors like Jaspal Singh and Kuldip Singh approached the local court after losing massive sums. Jaspal invested **₹8 lakh**, while Kuldip lost **₹17 lakh**, both drawn in by the Ghaziabad-based company's flashy ads promising **15% monthly interest** on investments made between December 2021 and February 2022.[2][4][6] When neither principal nor profits were returned, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court ordered Sakchi police to register the FIR under IPC sections for cheating and criminal conspiracy.[1][3] The company's directors, **Chander Bhushan Singh** and **Priyanka Singh**, were arrested in September 2025 while fleeing on the Rajdhani Express. Police uncovered a fraudulent **multi-level marketing (MLM)** scheme that allegedly collected unauthorized deposits, ballooning into a nationwide **₹600 crore cryptocurrency scam** now under Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation with raids across five cities.[2][3][4]

## Celebrity Power: From Silver Screen to Scam Bait? What makes this case explosive? The FIR accuses the stars—along with **Raza Murad** in some reports—of promoting the scheme through endorsements, using their massive fanbase to build trust and reel in unsuspecting investors.[1][2][6] Victims claim seeing Govinda, Chunky Panday, Shakti Kapoor, and Manoj Tiwari in ads convinced them the venture was legit, turning hard-earned savings into smoke.[3][4] This isn't isolated—it's a stark reminder of how **celebrity influence** can fuel risky investments, echoing similar frauds like the one involving filmmaker Vikram Bhatt.[5] As investigations deepen, questions swirl: Were the actors aware, or just paid promoters? The spotlight on Bollywood's role in finance is brighter than ever. What do you think—should celebrities face stricter rules for endorsements? Have you ever been tempted by a star-backed investment?
