Telugu cinema superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni, the father of actor Naga Chaitanya, has filed a complaint against Telangana Environment Minister Konda Surekha's "defamatory (and) derogatory" comments about the break-up of his son's marriage with fellow actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
On Wednesday Konda Surekha triggered a row by accusing Bharat Rashtra Samithi's KT Rama Rao - of orchestrating Naga Chaitanya and Samantha's divorce by luring the latter into a drug habit and then blackmailing her. "It is KT Rama Rao because of whom Samantha's divorce happened... He was a minister then and used to tap phones of the actresses to their weaknesses to blackmail them... He used to make them drug addicts... Everyone knows this... everybody is aware..." she ranted.
In a complaint filed in Hyderabad's Nampally district, Nagarjuna complained the Congress leader, while "fully aware" of the false nature of her statements, "deliberately spread these allegations with the sole intention of damaging the complainant's personal, professional, and familial reputation..."
