The Enforcement Department (ED) has issued notices to Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu. The notices were said to be issued in the wake of the recent searches conducted by the ED on Sai Surya Developers and Surana Group.
Mahesh Babu has endorsed the projects of this Hyderabad-based real estate group. It is said that the department has found that Sai Surya Developers allegedly paid Rs 5.9 crore to the star actor for promoting their projects. Of this, Rs 3.4 crore was reportedly paid through cheques and another Rs 2.5 crore in cash. Though the actor was not directly involved in this scam, the ED is investigating the money he received.
