In the latest face-off in Kollywood, a starlet from Kerala has hurled a slew of charges against a villain actor, including mental torture, harassment, extortion and blackmail.
If 21-year-old Bhagyanjali is to be believed, actor Velu has been inflicting mental torture and harassment by stalking her and constantly pestering her to marry him ever since she co-starred with him in Unnai Kadhalikiraen.
Her complaint to the City Police Commissioner alleged that she became friendly with him after acting together in the Tamil film, but that he misunderstood her and resorted to issuing threats.
She accused him of forcing her to sign on papers claiming that she had borrowed Rs 15 lakh from him.
Bhagyanjali, who was in the city to attend a function, visited the Vepery police station on Saturday to answer queries.
Countering her claims, Velu’s family told the police that she had borrowed Rs 40,000 from the actor about a year ago and had signed papers to that effect.
They alleged that she was yet to return the money and had cooked up the charges to evade repayment.
A senior police official told Express that an inquiry was in progress and no FIR had been registered so far.
A police team that went to Velu’s house on Vaikkolkaran Street in Purasavakkam in search of the actor returned emptyhanded.
The actor has been asked to report to the police station, as the cops want to know his version of the unfolding sordid saga
