Akun Cancels Leave, Tollywood Tensed

Akun Cancels Leave, Tollywood Tensed

When a story happens in film industry, expect a filmi story. Even as the opposition parties have levelled allegations against Telangana government that it succumbed to the pressure from Tollywood, in the latest development, Excise Commissioner Akun Sabharwal cancelled his leave today.

He has been investigating the drugs case and already 12 notices have been sent to Tollywood celebrities including Puri Jagannadh, Ravi Teja, Charmee and Tarun in this connection.

However, now that Akun cancelled his leave, Tollywood biggies are worrying that more skeletons will tumble out.

As per the latest media buzz, the officers may send notices to the elder son of a leading producer as well as the younger son of another leading producer.

Actors like Subbaraju, Mumaith Khan, Tarun, Nandu and Navadeep who received notices came out and have denied the allegations. They said they are clean and have nothing to fear.

Buzz is that Puri Jagannadh will also be making a statement to the media shortly.

Puri’s entire close team – Charmee, art director Chinna, cinematographer Shyam K Naidu, actor Subbaraju and a driver – received notices in this case.

Although the biggies are insisting they have nothing to worry about, inside sources say this entire investigation has put Tollywood under immense pressure.

As per law, persons who consume drugs below permissible levels will not be charged. Only suppliers and those who have connection with peddlers will be sent to jail.

Tollywood biggies say none of the celebrities who received notices are suppliers. So, there is nothing much to fear.
