Actor Nagarjuna popular as Manmadhudu expressed his frustration over the Telangana minister Surekha’s remarks and said, “We filed a criminal defamation case yesterday. We are in the process of filing another Rs 100 crore defamation lawsuit against her.
Surekhas baseless and outrageous comments cannot be allowed to slide under the crack. She now says she is withdrawing her remarks. She has apologised to Samantha. What about my family? Not a word of apology to me and to my family!” he added, making it evident that the damage went far beyond a simple apology.
Further, when the Shiva actor was asked if an apology from Konda Surekha would lead to the withdrawal of the lawsuit, Nagarjuna firmly denied it. He slammed the politician for making the entertainment industry a soft target.
“This is no longer personal. The slander has gone far beyond just me and my family. I am hoping that our legal action against the lady will caution other politicians from using our names in a slanderous way,” he added.
