Yevadu poster lands Ram Charan Teja in legal trouble

Actor Ram Charan Teja, son of actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi, and nine others associated with the recently released Telugu film Yevadu have been booked for promoting obscenity in the film’s posters.

K. Nagendra Prasad, a businessman, in his complaint stated that the posters of Yevadu were obscene.

Police have registered a case against Teja and other key members of the film crew including director Vamsi Paidipally and producer Dil Raju under the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.

The film’s director, however, has called the charges “baseless”.

“We have no clue which poster he is referring to. If he is talking about the one featuring Amy Jackson in a two-piece bikini with Charan, it was from a song. There was absolutely no obscenity in it. These are just baseless allegations,” Paidipally said. “We will handle this legally.”

Yevadu, which released on January 12, has a beach song featuring Amy in a bikini opposite Teja.

The film also features Allu Arjun, Kajal Agarwal, Shruti Haasan and Brahmanadam.
