"We have registered an FIR (first information report) against Gupta for sending out invites for the promotion of his film 'Shootout at Wadala' on a letterhead resembling that of the Mumbai police commissioner," Nandkumar Mhetar, a senior police inspector at Versova police station, told IANS.
"We have sent the summons to his office and asked him to come back to the police station and answer our questions. We're awaiting his response," he added.
Gupta, who has made films like "Kaante" and "Zinda", was booked for cheating and forgery. He was unavailable for comments despite repeated attempts.
"Shootout at Wadala", produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms and Gupta's White Feather Films, relies on a real-life incident that came about within the 1990s and narrates the tale of a shootout that happened in Wadala in central Mumbai.
The multi-starrer features Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, Tusshar Kapoor and Kangna Ranaut in pivotal roles.
