Prernaa who runs the production house by the name of KriArj Entertainment, has produced successful films like 'Rustom', 'PadMan', 'Pari' and 'Toilet Ek Prem Katha'. 

According to reports, Prernaa was arrested after film financier Vashu Bhagnani accused her of cheating him of Rs 16 crores As per reports, she was found having multiple passports and pan cards in her possession. According to Vashu, Prernaa's KriArj Entertainment, which produced the film Fanney Khan, did not credit him as the film distributors causing a breach in the agreement.
