Last week, Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay's name was dragged by rumour mongers, who floated the falsehood that he would be divorcing his wife Sangeetha. The Wikipedia page of the star hero was altered by cyber vandals, setting off a barrage of news articles.
This week, it is the turn of Power Star Pawan Kalyan. A rumour has gone out that he is divorcing his third wife Anna Lezhneva.
Social media, especially WhatsApp, has been used to amplify the aforementioned falsehood.
Unlike in Vijay's case, the hand of vested political interests in creating the lie about the 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' star has been suspected.
Meanwhile, his re-release 'Kushi' grossed more than Rs 7 Cr at the box-office.
