MS Raju makes a suicide attempt

MS Raju, well known as a Maha Sankranthi Raju in the film industry is said to be a happy man these days as his latest movie MASAKA has earned some money for him at the box office. In a recent press meet he disclosed that the movie was a super hit and has collected more than 30 crores.
But these all stories are an eye wash to the audiences and the real truth is that MASAKA is battling at the box office to reach a 50 day mark. Actor Ram is not a big hero and it is a fact that his recent movies were hits at the box office due to the story, music, screenplay and new way of presentation. Though the young girls fall for him, he lacks the luster of a celebrity. Due to highly inflammable action script, the movie is said to be disliked by most of the youngsters who want different movies with novel concepts.
It is rumored that MS Raju has a debt of Rs 55 crores which he incurred for investing on his big budget movies. It is true that MS Raju never compromises with the budget and provides whatever his directors say. For this reason due to his past releases like AATA, Vaana and so on, it is said that the heavy built man has incurred losses of Rs 75 crores, out of which he succeeded in paying back 20 crores.
But still he needs more money to clear his debts. Unable to bear the pressure from his money lenders, he attempted suicide in his house on Wednesday and this news is disclosed by his house mates. But there is a controversy that some mild poison was mixed in his drink which he consumed and fell sick. It is gossiped that it was not a suicide attempt, but was a murder attempt.

This matter was kept under wraps till yesterday evening, but could not hold on long from spreading to media.
What do you say Mr. Raju regarding this rumor? It seems that all those who are named as Raju’s have a dosha this year. Previous it was Ramalinga Raju and now it is MS Raju.
