The controversy surrounding Tollywood actor Raj Tarun began when Lavanya accused him of being involved with another actress based in Mumbai. Reports suggest that Lavanya filed a complaint at the Narsingi police station alleging that Raj made false promises to marry her and later deceived her. She also claimed that Raj's close associates have threatened her life, pressuring her to end her relationship with him.
In his defense, Raj Tarun has countered Lavanya's allegations by accusing her of blackmail. He also claimed that she is under the influence of addictive substances and has been dating someone else for a while. Raj stated that he has evidence to support these claims.

This case has drawn significant public attention not only because of the serious allegations but also due to the twists and turns it has taken. Raj's offer of Rs 5 crore to Lavanya adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing dispute.
Despite the legal troubles Raj Tarun continues to focus on his work. His most recent film Naa Saami Ranga directed by choreographer Vijay Binni was the last project he worked on before this controversy erupted.
