Renukaswamy’s murder has raised suspicions over Darshan’s ex-manager who went missing 6 years back

Amidst suspicion of involvement in the murder of Renukaswamy, Sandalwood actor Darshan also referred to as Challenging Star is faced with yet another setback. Darshan’s ex-manager Mallikarjun is reported to have been missing. 

Mallikarjun served as Darshan’s manager from 2011 until 2018. He would handle Darshan’s call sheets and financial affairs. Sandalwood actor Arjun Sarja had filed a case against Mallikarjun over allegedly cheating of Rs 1 crore. He was taken to task by Darshan when this incident came to his knowledge. Mallikarjun faces charges of defrauding Darshan of Rs 2 crore. This caused Mallikarun to drift away from Darshan.

They were informed that Mallikarjun had left behind a note wherein he stated that he had incurred loans which he was unable to pay off. They were told that Mallikarjun requested them not to pursue him. The court had made a press release on him in May 2024. He has however been missing for 6 years.
