Filmmaker Tharun Bhascker has approached CyberCrime officials and lodged a complaint against two online abusers who have threatened him. The online abusers in question are Anudeep & Krishna Teja Chowdare who have allegedly passed threatening comments against Pelli Choopulu director and his team. A few days back, Tharun has praised a film, Kappela asking cinephiles to watch it and how this flick is different from routine stuff. However, his tweet was misconstrued and specially Superstar Mahesh Babu fans vehemently trolled him for mocking Bharat Ane Nenu star. To this, Tharun had hit back at the trolls .
Now things seem to have got murkier, thus Tharun approched cyberCrime sleths to nab the abusers. He had also issued his statement which reads,
To whom so ever it may concern,
For the past few days, a post that we had put up regarding films, in general, was distorted out of proportion on social media and was used to “troll” me and my team. In response to that, we had approached Cyber Crime Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) S.Harinath garu police official at Gachibowli, HYD, and made two phone calls to two twitter ids: namely Anudeep &Krishna Teja Chowdare. Anudeep’s phone number was given by himself to my Line producer Sai & Krishna Teja Chowdare’s we took from his public facebook profile contact info. We called them, politely spoke to them about how this issue was distorted and portray against us and also mentioned to them how trolling can affect an individual. We also warned them that any abusive language, personal remarks here forth shall be taken seriously and we will make an official complaint to which they responded positively initially but chose to modify the conversation to look like a threat. We have submitted the phone conversations to the concerned officials which were made in their presence. We are attaching the official complaint for reference.
We are taking this seriously and will take action against every threat, phone call, defamation, false allegation posts, and messages.
