The department reportedly suspects Mandanna has evaded tax. The Newsminute report also says the actor had only yesterday said, ” I am not the highest paid actor. I am just starting off in the film industry. When people say I am the highest paid actor in Sandalwood, I wonder where the news is coming from. I don’t have any money in the bank. I still feel like a debutant.”
