Hyderabad, Jan 8: 33-year-old Uday Kiran, who committed suicide,
has been cremated at Erragadda cremation groundsin Hyderabad on Tuesday,
Jan 7. A day after his cremation, police questioned his wife Vishita
and other family members in connection with the death of the hat-trick
hero of Tollywood.
While the cops have been waiting for Kiran's postmortem report to
arrive, a section of Telugu film industry reportedly started discussing
that Kiran had become a victim of caste politics in the South Indian
cine world. Media reports said that people from the industry believe
that Kiran was deliberately sidelined by the top stars and producers
after his fabulous initial years.
Kiran belonged to Brahmins caste. People from the same caste accused
other two castes -- Kamma and Kapu of playing politics in the industry.
Kamma and Kapu, to which majority of Telugu heroes such as Chiranjeevi,
Balakrishnan belong to, allegedly ruled the industry and do not allow
others to build a successful film career.
