Just ahead of the highly anticipated release of the Telugu film “Tiger Nageswara Rao,” a familiar scenario is unfolding in the world of Telugu cinema. Income Tax and GST authorities have once again descended upon the offices of Telugu film producer Abhishek Agarwal. This surprise raid on his office, as he was preparing to engage with the media for the promotion of his upcoming film slated for an October 20th release, has sent shockwaves throughout the industry.
The root cause of this sudden scrutiny seems to be tied to the significant financial investments made in the Bollywood release of “Tiger Nageswara Rao.” Speculation abounds that the authorities are concerned about the substantial capital infusion into the project, prompting this unexpected investigation.
What adds an intriguing twist to the tale is Abhishek Agarwal’s close affiliation with the ruling BJP party. His previous film projects, such as “The Kashmir Films,” have been known to support the saffron party’s agenda to some extent. Therefore, the raid on a producer with political ties is raising eyebrows and piquing curiosity.
Nonetheless, insiders with access to the inside scoop suggest that there’s no reason for alarm. They maintain that Abhishek Agarwal’s financial records are impeccably clear, and this unexpected visit from the tax and GST authorities might just be an unwarranted hiccup in the run-up to the film’s release.
