Telugu cinema’s veteran actor Akkineni Nagarjuna has filed a defamation suit against Telangana Minister Konda Surekha following her controversial remarks about the Akkineni family. The actor took legal action, stating that Konda Surekha’s comments have tarnished the honor and reputation of his family. The case, which was scheduled for hearing today, has been postponed to Monday as the presiding judge was on vacation. Konda Surekha’s statements have caused a major uproar in both the film industry and political circles.
Konda Surekha recently made sensational comments about the divorce of Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, insinuating political involvement in their split. Specifically, she alleged that BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) was somehow responsible for the couple’s separation. This claim quickly sparked outrage within the Telugu film industry. Major stars like Chiranjeevi, Jr NTR, Prabhas, Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu, Rajamouli, and many others, including members of the Akkineni family, publicly condemned Konda Surekha’s remarks and expressed their solidarity with Nagarjuna.
Nagarjuna, a well-respected figure in Tollywood, expressed his disappointment on social media. He posted, “I always thought I was a strong person. I am a lion when it comes to protecting my family. Fortunately, the entire Telugu industry stood by us. I consider all this as my father’s blessing. I hope we will always have everyone’s love and blessings.” His post has since gone viral, with fans and colleagues extending their support for the actor and his family.
The film industry continues to demand that political figures avoid dragging movie stars into political debates. Many actors and filmmakers have voiced concerns over the increasing trend of celebrities’ personal lives being used for political leverage.
Konda Surekha’s allegations about the Akkineni family have now become a major talking point across both the entertainment and political communities. The upcoming hearing on Monday is expected to be closely watched by all, as the case holds significant implications for the reputation of the Akkineni family and the larger debate about the intersection of politics and cinema in India.
