Tollywood director Pavan Sadineni of Prema Ishq Kaadhal (2013) and Savitri (2016) fame has been arrested by police. The arrest followed a complaint filed by a female artist, whose name is not revealed. She alleged sexual exploitation and breach of trust.
According to the complaint, the filmmaker promised her movie roles. She stated that they lived together for a prolonged period. She claimed he promised to marry her during this time. Later, he allegedly backtracked on his commitment and cheated her. They have previously worked together on a project.
Pavan, who is currently making Dulquer Salmaan's Aakasamlo Oka Tara, hasn't secured bail. Evidence is being collected currently.
Pavan Sadineni recently presented Gaayapadda Simham, headlined by JD Chakravarthy. The crime comedy caper was a box-office disaster. He comes from a non-film background. Having made short films while in the US, he moved to Hyderabad to pursue his feature film dreams.
