Police have now registered a kidnapping case based on a complaint filed by Gurucharan Singh's father and several teams have been formed to trace the 50-year-old actor.
Initial investigation revealed that the actor was soon to get married and had been facing a financial crisis, sources said.
Police said Mr Singh had withdrawn about Rs 7,000 from an ATM in Delhi and that his last location was traced to Palam - a few kms away from his home on April 24, after which his phone was switched off.
