Hyderabad: Tollywood comedian D.V. Naidu lodged a complaint against a junior artist for allegedly assaulting him. Naidu alleged that the artist came to his house at Jubilee Hills and thrashed him for no reason.
Jubilee Hills police have started an inquiry into the matter. The attacker was identified as Rajkumar alias Ramu, who is now playing a villain’s role in the upcoming Telugu flick Nene Raju Nene Mantri.
While Naidu refused to divulge the details on why Rajkumar assaulted him, police has found that there was a financial dispute going on between the two.
“Apparently, Naidu owed Rs 5 lakh to Rajkumar, who came to Naidu’s house to demand the money back. Then there was some altercation. We have started an inquiry into the complaint lodged by Naidu,” said Jubilee Hills police inspector S. Venkat Reddy.
