It's
been
five
days
since
southern
actress
Anjali
went
missing
after
accusing
her
step
mother
Bharati
Devi
and
Tamil
director
Kalanjiyam
of
harassment.
She
continues
to
be
untraced.
The
police
have
questioned
Telugu
producer
Suresh
Kondeti
to
ascertain
her
whereabouts.
"Anjali
was
in
touch
with
producer
Suresh
Kondeti.
We
questioned
him
after
we
came
to
know
that
she
called
him.
We
are
likely
to
trace
her
in
a
couple
of
days," DV
Pradeep
Kumar,
Inspector
Jubilee
Hills,
said.
Kondeti
bought
the
distribution
rights
of
Telugu
dubbed
film
Crazy
starring
Anjali
and
a
host
of
other
actors.
It
is
the
Tamil
remake
of
Delhi
Belly,
titled
Settai.
Anjali
disappeared
from
her
hotel
room
on
April
8
where
she
was
staying
with
her
uncle
Suri
Babu.
According
to
hotel
officials,
she
was
last
seen
boarding
a
car
outside
the
hotel.
She
had
complained
that
her
step
mother
Bharati
Devi
and
director
Kalanjiyam
were
mentally
torturing
her
and
have
been
using
her
like
an
ATM.
Following
Anjali's
allegation,
her
step
mother
and
director
Kalanjiyam
stated
that
they
caused
her
no
harm
and
were
clueless
about
reported
harassment
charges.

Kalanjiyam
Filed
Defamation
Suit
Kalanjiyam
also
filed
a
defamation
suit
against
Anjali
for
charging
him
with
baseless
allegations.
The
director
said
that
he
was
ready
to
answer
all
charges
against
him
in
court.
Bharati
Devi
Filed
Police
Complaint
On
Apr
10
Bharati
Devi
filed
a
police
complaint
on
Wednesday
alleging
that
Anjali
may
have
been
kidnapped
and
is
being
forced
to
issue
statements
against
her
and
director
Kalanjiyam.
Anjali
was
to
join
the
sets
of
Telugu
remake
of
Hindi
movie
Bol
Bachchan.
Since
she
failed
to
show
up,
the
film
unit
began
shooting
scenes
that
don't
involve
her.
Anjali
"We
couldn't
wait
any
longer
because
we
are
working
on
a
tight
schedule
and,
therefore,
started
filming
scenes
that
do
not
include
her.
I
hope
she
returns
soon,"
Sravanti
Ravikishore,
producer
of
the
film
told
IANS
earlier.
Anjali's
Successful
Movies
Anjali
is
known
for
successful
films
such
as
Engaeyum
Eppothum,
Kalakalappu
and
Seethamma
Vakitlo
Sirimalle
Chettu.
Anjali's
Debut
Film
She
made
her
cinematic
debut
with
Tamil
drama
Sathamindri
Muthamidu,
which
was
directed
by
Kalanjiyam.
However,
that
film
never
saw
the
light
of
day.
