For the uninitiated, no charge sheets were filed against the Tollywood celebs as there was a lack of evidence. In 2017, authorities of Telangana’s Prohibition and Excise department in Hyderabad had busted a drug racket in which several students and celebs were allegedly using high-end narcotics such as LSD and MDMA. The ED booked this case under PMLA i.e. Prevention of Money Laundering Act and all the financial history is being scrutinized to see any foul play.
On the work front, Navdeep will be seen in Thala Ajith starter Valimai. He is playing a pivotal role in the Tamil film which is being directed by H Vinoth. The actor also has another Tamil movie called Veeramadevi, which stars Sunny Leone in the lead role.
