The Income Tax sleuths, led by additional director, investigation, Aparna Rao, conducted raids on prominent film personalities of Tollywood at around 6.30 am. They include Dil Raju, Maheshbabu, SS Rajamouli, VV Vinayak and Charmme.

It is learnt that the IT officials conducted raids as they did not show proper details about their income and expenditure and also about their properties.

It is worth mentioning here that all the above film personalities gave big hits in recent times.

While Dil Raju had hits like ‘Bommarillu’ and ‘Happy Days’, Maheshbabu had notable hit like ‘Pokiri’, SS Rajamouli had produced and directed a blockbuster like ‘Yamadonga’, Vinayak gave a hit through ‘Krishna’ and Charmme had also a hit film in her kitty like ‘Mantra’.

Assuming that these films made them wealthy but the film personalities did not show proper accounts about the revenue by making huge investments in real estate deals, the IT officials conducted raids and the investigation continued till the last reports came in.

To be noted here is that most of the Tollywood celebs file IT in Chennai and very few in Hyderabad.
