Raj Kasireddy, recently arrested in the AP liquor scam case, has been remanded in custody by the court. Before his arrest, Kasireddy was known for his involvement in film production. He established Red Cinemas and produced the film Mali Modalaindi, starring Sumanth, which was released directly on Zee5 OTT in 2022. Kasireddy later established ED Entertainment and produced the film Spy, starring Nikhil, which was released in 2023 but turned out to be a disaster.
Kasireddy worked with YS Jagan before the 2019 elections and acted as the government's IT advisor after the YSRCP came to power. His film ventures seem to be an interesting aside to his political career. Kasireddy reportedly gave the story for the spy movie Spy, and there are rumors that he also gave advances to other people in Tollywood for potential projects. One such project allegedly included a biopic of a badminton player.
The details of Kasireddy's film career provide an interesting glimpse into his interests and activities beyond politics. However, his recent arrest has raised questions about his business dealings and potential motives behind his film ventures. The outcome of the AP liquor scam case will likely shed more light on Kasireddy's actions. Lack of Passion and Expertise in Film Production
The fact that many of their films don't seem to be driven by artistic merit or commercial viability raises suspicions about their true intentions.
Raj Kasireddy, a politician who was involved in the AP liquor scam, has also been involved in film production, raising questions about the motivations behind politicians' forays into the film industry. It's alleged that some politicians use film production as a means to launder black money, rather than being driven by a genuine passion for the craft.
