Tollywood has been recently rocked by three major controversies.
First, there's the Raj Tarun-Lavanya case. Lavanya claimed actor Raj Tarun lived with her for 11 years, married her, and even forced an abortion. Legal proceedings are ongoing, though both have become less visible in media lately.
A second case involves choreographer Jani Master, accused of sexual harassment by a female assistant, who claimed she was a minor at the time. The police charged him under the POCSO Act, and though he was briefly jailed, he is now out on bail. Many believe this issue was quietly settled.
Finally, the Hema drug scandal surfaced when Bangalore police accused actress Hema of drug use, leading to her arrest. Though released on bail, Hema denied the charges and offered to undergo drug testing. The Movie Artist Association initially banned her but later lifted the ban.
The attention span of people and media is too less that these cases seem to have faded. However, the new social media battles between Mega fans and Allu Arjun’s supporters have recently reignited following comments by Varun Tej.
