The controversial issue dogging the Kannada film industry – high remuneration to artistes raised by some of the producers is an internal issue. It is like a family matter. We have to discuss within ourselves instead of making it public opined superstar Shivarajkumar speaking to this journalist at Lalith Mahal Palace in Mysore on Monday afternoon.

In a joint family there will be minor misunderstandings. That has to be solved by discussion. It is similar in the issue of problems with the producers says Shivarajkumar. On the point of remuneration he said 'let the producers give what they have told us' he insisted.

In the days of my father he used to tell me that a producer is like 'Annadhata'. Now the producers even after agreement and making money from the films they show lot of disrespect while clearing the balance. How can we call them 'Annadhata' questioned Shivarajkumar. As a matter of fact the producers come to us. If they are very particular about the remuneration they can have a voting system to find out how many producers say the remuneration of artistes is high suggested Shivarajkumar. A very few people have said it like that. I know about it. It is always the failure that makes them to say like this felt Shivarajkumar.
