Tollywood actor Nagajuna lost his cool with a female cine critic who gave him negative feedback on his films; he allegedly hurled abuses at her and threatened to 'kill' her
Under the Indian Penal Code sections 506(criminal intimidation) and 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills police registered a case against Tollywood actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, on Saturday.
The actor reportedly lost his temper with a female cine critic, at the Annapurna Studios on September 29. And now we hear that since the complaint, the actor has been trying to make amends with the freelance journalist.
The journalist, who is a member of the Film Censor Board, alleged that Nagarjuna had approached her when she was interviewing a heroine at the studio. In the police report, she claimed that Nagarjuna had asked her what she thought about his films Dhamarukam and King.
When she gave Nagarjuna negative feedback on his films, he supposedly verbally abused her and even threatened to kill her. In the report, she stated, "All this happened in the presence of a few film persons."
Reportedly, the police did not conduct any probe into the case right until Sunday evening.
A source explained that Nagarjuna's aides had conveyed to the authorities that the actor was trying to make peace with the journalist. "Based on an apology, the woman is free to withdraw the complaint. If she stands firm on her complaint, Nagarjuna may face up to two years of imprisonment," explained the source.
