In a shocking development, a prominent Telugu actor has reportedly gone into hiding following the recent arrest of fellow actor Srikanth in connection with a high-profile drugs case that rocked the film industry a few years ago. The case, which first came to light in 2017, had thrust several big-name celebrities into the spotlight and sparked a widespread investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
According to sources, the unnamed actor is believed to have been closely linked to the earlier drugs scandal and is now feared to be a key target of the authorities as they continue to unravel the details of the case. The arrest of Srikanth, a respected and veteran actor in the Telugu film industry, has seemingly sent shockwaves through the community, prompting this actor to go into hiding in an apparent attempt to evade questioning or potential prosecution.
The 2017 case, which initially centered around the consumption of banned narcotics within the film industry’s social circles, quickly expanded to encompass a wider network of high-profile individuals. Names like acclaimed director Puri Jagannadh, actress Charmme Kaur, actor Subbaraju, and item number specialist Mumaith Khan were all drawn into the SIT’s scrutiny as the investigation progressed.
While some celebrities cooperated with the authorities and were eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, the stigma attached to the scandal has continued to linger within the industry. The news of this latest actor’s disappearance has only served to reignite public interest and speculation around the case, with many wondering if more high-profile names could be implicated in the ongoing probe.
Industry insiders have expressed concern over the potential damage this latest development could have on the reputation and public perception of the Telugu film industry as a whole. With the specter of the drugs case still looming large, the decision by this actor to go into hiding has only fueled further questions and uncertainty about the true extent of the problem within the entertainment community.
As the authorities continue their investigation, the fate of the absconding actor and the potential implications for the wider Telugu film industry remain to be seen. This latest twist in the long-running saga is sure to keep the entertainment world and the public alike on the edge of their seats in the days and weeks to come.
