Sharon Stone has sued a movie producer for the 500,000 dollars after he lured the actress to participate in his fraudulent scheme.

Stone, made a deal with Bob Yari to shoot a film named 'Papa', claimed that the producer was a liar and a fraud who asked her to falsify U.S. documents so she could go to Cuba and play Ernest Hemingway's wife in a new movie, TMZ.com reported.

According to the lawsuit, the 55-year-old needed legal clearance to take the trip to Castroland.

Stone has claimed in the lawsuit that Yari asked her to lie in order to get permission from the U.S. Government, and wanted her to say the trip was for a "cultural endeavor", which it wasn't.

In the lawsuit, the actress claimed that when she refused to do so, the producer recast the role and refused to pay her the 500,000 dollars she was promised.
