Uday Kiran's suicide: Police find new clues

After interrogating the actor's wife, family and the actor's manager, the police learnt that Uday had lent Rs 17 lakhs to his manager Munna who had promised to make a movie with the actor. Interestingly, the actor had borrowed this money from a woman who was the leading lady in Munna's movie with Uday. The film produced by Munna was titled 'Dammit Katha addam tirigindhi' which was stopped mid-way for lack of funds.

Sources say the woman had asked the actor to return her money and police feel this could also be a reason behind Uday's suicide. With neither money nor movies in hand, Uday was forced to take the extreme step, feel the police. Also, the fact that Uday was living off his wife's earnings made it worse for him.

Although many suspect his wife Vishitha, the police has ruled out any provocation from her side. As per the call records, Uday did not make any calls after

10 pm. His last calls were to his wife Vishitha and her friend Sharath.
