Conservative filmmaker and author Dinesh D'Souza is planning to turn his probation sentence for illegal campaign contributions into reality TV.

D'Souza was sentenced in Manhattan federal court on Sept. 23 to five years' probation, including eight months in a halfway house, for illegally providing straw donations to his college friend and New York Senatorial candidate Wendy Long, Breitbart News reported.

D'Souza revealed that he is definitely going to make a big film in 2016 and will release it in the summer, just like the movie '2016,' which came out in 2012.

He added that he is in a very early stage and has been preoccupied with legal problems and has been trying to dodge a bullet, but he is very glad that he has been able to do that and so has been pulling blueprints and starting to think about what that movie will look like.

The Indian immigrant is required to spend one eight-hour workday a week performing community service during his probation and he plans to work it off teaching English as a Second Language classes to non-English speakers.
