Generally some film celebrities don’t flaunt their new gifts, whether the ones they have given, or the ones they have got. Only is some cases, some big heroes, do reveal that they have indeed gifted something to their director.
The cons of revealing such stuff is, one: Other celebs will take it to heart and may feel sad, two: Income Tax sleuths may take a note of it and raid. Apparently when producer Bandla Ganesh has revealed that when he shared the news of that costly lighter to everyone (actually Puri Jagan himself tweeted it with a picture), guess who got alerted first. It’s the Income Tax sleuths.
Way back in 2012, during the making of Iddarammayilatho movie, Bandla Ganesh has gifted an expensive 1,455 diamonds studded lighter to director Puri Jagan. Cost of this sparkling cigarette lighting thing is more than 44 lakhs. Ganesh felt that Puri Jagan will remember this gift forever and make few good profit getting films with him.
However in the end, IT people took a clue from the happening and raided Bandla Ganesh’s place to find the authenticity of his account books. Ganesh himself revealed that while talking about that costly gift in a recent interview.
