Pelli SandaD heroine Sree Leela’s name has come to prominence in Tollywood recently. The actress made her debut with the romantic drama which is running currently in theatres.
Amidst the release pressure and celebrations, the young actress’ name has now become a part of a controversy. Industrialist Surapaneni Subhakar Rao came in front of the media today and rubbished the claim of the actress being his daughter. Sree Leela in her promotional interviews had mentioned that she belongs to the Surapaneni family. This hasn’t gone down well with the industrialist.
‘Sree Leela is not my daughter. I was married to her mother earlier but we have been divorced for the past 20 years. How can she claim to be my child?” questioned Subhakar Rao.
‘My name is being used in the interviews in order to stake a claim on my properties and I will pursue the matter legally,’ claimed Rao.
Surapaneni Subhakar Rao is the CEO of Champion Group of Companies with businesses in multiple countries.
