On the eve of Republic Day this year, the Government of India conferred India's second highest civilian honour Padma Vibhushan to industrialist and media baron Ramoji Rao and Padma Sri Award to ace director SS Rajamouli.
However, former MP Undavilli Arun Kumar takes a dig at Ramoji getting the Padma award. He questioned the Government of India how it would present India's second highest honour to the person, who has got several cases filed in courts and not at all got clean chit in any of the cases. Undavilli also made it clear that he would inform the details of cases filed on Ramoji to the President of India, pranab Mukherji, who is going to give away the award to Ramoji Rao.
On the other hand, director Rajamouli has received court summons in a cheating case. Reports are that Rajamouili made an agreement to sell his flat at photographers colony of MLA colony to a person, named Bhuvaneswar in 2012. However, without prior intimation to Bhuvaneswar, Rajamouli sold out the property to someone else. Eventually, cheating case was registered against at Banjara Hills Police Station.
Although Ramoji Rao and Rajamouli were alleged on court related issues, they can get the issues solved quite easily such a way there may not be the threat of Government of India taking their awards back.
