The small section of Bollywood personalities led by film maker Ramesh Sippy, however, were quick to add that their support to Roy should not be interpreted as an attempt to "influence" the ongoing case against him in the Supreme Court.
When prodded constantly about why the film fraternity did not have the same feelings like they have for Roy for crores of gullible investors whose hard-earned savings face an uncertain fate, Sippy said that the group would rally behind them as well, "if they come across any such investors."
