Entertainment: Karan Singh Chauhan, the producer of the film "So Long Valley," is currently embroiled in controversy.

Ruchi Gujjar's Allegation – Producer Misled with False Promises
In the FIR, actress Ruchi Gujjar stated that between July 2023 and January 2024, she transferred a total of ₹24 lakh in several installments from her company, SR Event & Entertainment, to Karan Singh Chauhan's company, K Studios, and other bank accounts. Ruchi claims that Karan presented himself as the producer of a Hindi television show and said that the show would soon be broadcast on Sony TV. He offered Ruchi the opportunity to become a co-producer in the show and sent project-related documents via WhatsApp.
Ruchi further stated that despite contacting him multiple times, Karan neither started the project nor returned her money. When she pressured him, Karan stated that he had invested the money in his film "So Long Valley." Karan also said that he would return the money after the film's release. When Ruchi learned that "So Long Valley" was scheduled to be released on July 27, 2025, she asked Karan to return the money immediately. It is alleged that Karan then began to threaten her.
