Senior film journalist and publisher Suresh Kondeti (who is also a producer and distributor) was recently in the news over messing up with a film awards function that he organized and hosted in Goa. Some Kannada film industry personalities were allegedly disrespected during the awards event; many of them were reportedly cooped up in their hotel rooms because Kondeti hadn't cleared their hotel bills. Allu Aravind and another producer came to their rescue and personally cleared the bills.
The news is that Kondeti has been expelled from the Telugu Film Producers Council and the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce. The decision was taken by the two major Telugu film industry bodies after assessing the incidents in Goa.
Days after the Telugu Film Journalists Association imposed a ban on him, the Film Critics Association has also expelled him from its body.
At the time of writing, he hasn't issued any statement. Recently, Kondeti tweeted that he would be back in the game soon. He later deleted the tweet.
