Rajnikant cheated by PV Ranga Rao

Rajnikant P V Ranga Rao, former Andhra Pradesh minister and son of former prime minister P V Narasihma Rao was Saturday(4th February) arrested by the Hyderabad police in a cheating case. The arrest follows a complaint by Tamil Nadu superstar Rajnikant that Rao had taken Rs 20 million, promising a film Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mahatyam, the police said. Rao's personal assistant Gopala Krishna Reddy who was also involved in the case, has already been arrested, the police added. Rao, a former Congress legislator and education minister, and his personal assistant had approached Rajnikant, a staunch devotee of Raghavendra Swamy of Mantralayam, and won his confidence, posing as devotees, it was alleged. They also requested the star to act in the film. But when he declined the offer, they reportedly pleaded that he at least fund it, the police said. Rajnikant issued cheques last year, but there was neither any trace of any film being made nor was there any word of a promise from Rao for repayment of the money. The superstar recently lodged a complaint with police commissioner P Ramulu, who ordered a probe into the matter.
