Income Tax department raids 'Pushpa 2' director Sukumar’s house

The Income Tax Department raided the properties of 'Pushpa 2' director Sukumar in Hyderabad on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. The early morning raid continued for several hours, stirring speculation about the reasons behind the action. Sukumar was not at home when the raid began, as he was at the Hyderabad airport. The authorities then returned him to his residence, where the search continued.

The IT department, however, has remained tight-lipped about the details of the raid. No official statement has been issued regarding the case, and the reason behind the raid is still unclear. This has led to widespread curiosity within the film industry, especially given the timing of the action following the massive success of Sukumar’s latest film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. The movie, which stars Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, has been a box office phenomenon, earning over Rs 1500 crore.

The raid on Sukumar's properties comes just a day after a similar operation on the properties of renowned film producer Dil Raju. On January 21, 2025, the IT department raided Raju's properties to investigate potential tax evasion. The department scrutinized his financial records for any discrepancies that could suggest tax violations.

Dil Raju, a prominent figure in the Telugu film industry, faced this action amid the commercial failure of his recent film Gamechanger. The movie, made with a budget of Rs 450 crore, earned only Rs 126 crore at the box office, resulting in significant losses for the makers. Despite this setback, Dil Raju has produced several successful films, including Varisu with Thalapathy Vijay and The Family Star with Vijay Deverakonda.
