A humongous ₹1,000 crore alcohol scandal involving Tamil Nadu’s TASMAC has rocked political rings but now seems to be sending shock waves through the South Indian film world. While the Enforcement Directorate (ED) does a deep dive investigation, actress Kayadu Lohar has suddenly become a buzz name in relation to the high-profile investigation.
Sources say recent ED raids in Chennai allegedly resulted in the questioning of some prominent persons. In the questioning, some connections with the film industry are said to have surfaced, including allegations that Kayadu Lohar had attended high-profile parties believed to be linked to the illegal liquor trade. Rumours indicate that she might have been paid approximately ₹35 lakh to attend these gatherings. While there is no official confirmation, these claims have quickly gone viral on social media, sparking widespread curiosity.
Kayadu Lohar, who is one of the new faces of both Tamil and Telugu filmdom, became popular with her role in Dragon and then went on to share screen space with popular names such as Atharvaa, GV Prakash, and Simbu (Silambarasan). She is now acting in Idhayam Murali, a film directed by Aakash Bhaskaran, with Atharvaa and music director S. Thaman playing key roles.
The timing of the allegations has come under scrutiny, with Kayadu having several projects in development. While fans are wondering how this scandal will affect her nascent career, the actress has not made any official statement commenting on the rumors.
The TASMAC scam under investigation by the ED is all about serious charges of corruption and undisclosed financial transactions in Tamil Nadu’s state-owned liquor retailing system. The current probe supposedly indicates a racket that could have political players, senior bureaucrats, and now probably even names from the film industry.
Until additional facts are out or there is a formal statement, the shadow of doubt still hangs over Kayadu Lohar’s career. With the investigation in progress, the film industry and her fans wait for a clearer picture.
