Shocking Income Tax Raids at Sukumar’s Home and Office: Pushpa 2 Director’s Urgent Return!
Director Sukumar, basking in the phenomenal success of his latest film, “Pushpa 2: The Rule,” starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, recently found himself amid unexpected turmoil as Income Tax Department officials conducted extensive raids at his residence and office in Hyderabad. The raids commenced on the morning of Wednesday, January 22, 2025, and continued for several hours. Reports indicate that the director, who was at Hyderabad airport at the time, was brought back to his home by IT officials for the proceedings. While the specific aims and outcomes of these raids remain undisclosed, no official statement has been provided yet by the Income Tax department regarding the developments.
“Pushpa 2: The Rule” has been a colossal hit, amassing over Rs 1500 crore globally, further cementing Sukumar’s reputation as a prominent figure in the Telugu film industry. This latest installment in the franchise has captivated audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances by its leads.
The raids on Sukumar’s properties coincide with another high-profile financial scrutiny involving Dil Raju, a renowned producer in the industry. The IT department conducted raids on Raju’s properties just a day earlier, on January 21. This high-profile producer, known for his contributions to Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema through his company, Sri Venkateswara Creations, is suspected of potential tax evasion. The swoop by the officials is reportedly part of an investigation targeting alleged financial discrepancies and unaccounted income. By meticulously examining financial documents and transactions, the authorities aim to uncover possible tax evasions.
Dil Raju, whose real name is Velamakucha Venkata Ramana Reddy, is a well-decorated figure, having received two National Film Awards and the Nagi Reddy–Chakrapani National Award in 2013. His recent works include the Ram Charan starrer, “Game Changer.” This simultaneous investigation into two heavyweight figures of Telugu cinema has surely captured significant attention from the industry and fans alike.
