सोशल मीडिया और ऑनलाइन डेटिंग ऐप्स के इस युग मे धोखे भी बहुत लोग खा रहे हैं. बिना मिले ही लोग एक दूसरे पर विश्वास कर के दोस्ती और रिश्ते बना लेते हैं और इसी विश्वास का धोखेबाज गलत फायदा उठा लेते हैं। हाल ही में समाजसेवी और व्यवसायी रमेश गौर को फिल्म इंडस्ट्री की एक निर्माता ने एक हाई प्रोफाइल वकील के साथ मिलकर फंसाने की नाकाम कोशिश की, जिससे यह मुद्दा चर्चा में आ गया है। सबूत और गवाहों के आधार पर पुलिस ने जाँच को जारी रखा। इतने हार्डकोर फुलप्रूफ प्लान की असफलता के बाद रमेश गौर के दुश्मन बिफर उठे। और क्रॉस एफ़आईआर के न्यायोचित होने के बाद शासन-प्रशासन रमेश गौर के साथ खड़ा हो गया। इसी बीच उस महिला निर्माता के बैक-टू-बैक दो ऑडियो लीक हो गए जिनमें वह रमेश गौर से 20 लाख रुपये की मांग करते हुए सुनी जा सकती है।
हनी ट्रैप दरअसल एक ऐसी चाल है, जिसमें किसी को फंसाने के लिए खूबसूरत महिला का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। किसी व्यक्ति के बारे में अंदर की जानकारी निकाल कर उसे किसी खास काम के लिए मजबूर किया जाता है या ब्लैकमेल करके पैसे मांगे जाते हैं. अक्सर लोग मीठी बातों और आकर्षण के जाल में फंस जाते हैं। सामने वाले का विश्वास जीतकर उससे प्राइवेट तस्वीरें, वीडियो या जानकारी प्राप्त कर ली जाती है। इसके बाद ब्लैकमेलिंग करके पैसों की मांग करते है।
सपनों के शहर माया नगरी में हनीट्रैप के द्वारा लोगों की दुखती रग पकड़कर उनसे ब्लैकमेलिंग की जाती है. रमेश गौर का ऐसा ही एक मामला है जो अंत तक इस मामले में पुलिस का सहयोग करते रहे। इसी बीच पुलिस ने एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी के हस्तक्षेप के बाद फिर एक एफ़आईआर दर्ज की। वहीं दूसरी ओर फिल्म इंडस्ट्री का एक कैंप इस मामले को इंडस्ट्री के पिछले कई हनीट्रैप के मामलों से जोड़कर देख रहा है। खैर फ़िलहाल मामला पुलिस जाँच में है। हमारे सूत्र व्यवसायी रमेश गौर से संपर्क करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं ताकि इस मामले की बाकी सभी कड़ियों को उजागर किया जा सके।

As Telugu cinema witnesses a renewed interest in mythological storytelling, speculation is rife that actor Naga Chaitanya may be stepping into a space deeply rooted in his family’s cinematic heritage, following in the footsteps of his grandfather ANR and father Nagarjuna? While #NC24 is rumored to have mythological elements, speculation suggests he might headline another major mythological film. This potential project, rumored to be close to his heart, could reflect his spiritual beliefs and offer a platform to express them through his craft.
The Akkineni lineage has a rich history with mythological cinema. ANR famously portrayed figures like Rama and Krishna in classics such as Sri Krishnarjuna Yuddam and Sri Rama Rajyam, also bringing saints like Tukaram and Ramadasu to life. Nagarjuna continued this legacy with acclaimed devotional biopics like Annamayya (as the composer-saint) and Om Namo Venkatesaya (as Hathiram Bhavaji), and also starred in Sri Ramadasu and Shirdi Sai. His appearance as Lord Shiva in Jagadguru Adi Sankara further cemented his engagement with spiritual themes.
With #NC24 and this potential new mythological venture, Naga Chaitanya seems poised to not only uphold his family’s cinematic heritage but also forge his own path, bringing his spiritual sensibilities to Telugu cinema. Audiences eagerly await his interpretation of these faith-based narratives, anticipating a new chapter in the Akkineni family’s enduring contribution to mythological storytelling.
Is Naga Chaitanya The New Torchbearer Of Mythological Cinema In The Akkineni Legacy?
