Popular comedian Venu Yeldandi recently made an impressive debut as a director with the critically acclaimed slice of life village drama, Balagam. The film has grossed nearly Rs 50 crore at the box office worldwide. Several top Tollywood stars have showered Venu with accolades for his work.
Now, in an unexpected development, a group of MPTCs from Ibrahimpatnam mandal, Jagityal district reportedly filed a complaint against director Venu Yeldandi. The MPTCs approached the Tahsildar and urged him to take legal action against Venu for portraying the MPTCs in a derogatory manner in a few scenes in the movie. Venu, on the other hand, is yet to comment on the matter.
Balagam featured Priyadarshi and Kavya Kalyanram in lead roles. Dil Raju’s daughter Hanshita Reddy is the producer of the movie.
