Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who is currently preparing for his highly anticipated project SSMB29, reportedly starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, has found himself at the center of an unexpected controversy.
A man named Uppalapati Srinivasa Rao has come forward with serious allegations against the acclaimed director. Claiming to be a longtime friend of Rajamouli, Srinivasa Rao has accused him of pushing him to the brink of despair.
According to reports by Gulte, in a letter addressed to the Mettuguda police, Srinivasa Rao stated that his association with Rajamouli dates back to 1990.
According to his claims, the director has been responsible for his suffering, allegedly ruining his life and subjecting him to ongoing distress.
Furthermore, Srinivasa Rao has made a startling revelation that a triangular love story was the root cause of their falling out. While these accusations have stirred quite a controversy, Rajamouli has yet to respond to the claims.
The situation continues to unfold, leaving many eager to see how the director will address the matter.
In the letter to the police, Srinivasa Rao stated that Rajamouli is the reason for his being single, even at 55 years of age. He also alleged that Rajamouli was torturing him for the sake of a woman. However, at the same time, he also stated that he could not produce proof for things that happened between three people. He also alleged that he has no other option that ending his life, blaming Rajamouli as the reason.
