The challenging star Darshan has admitted that he had difference of opinion with producer of 'Chingari' Mahadevu and his son Manu Gowda.

Darshan directly charged the producer Mahadevu and his son Manu Gowda for abstaining from the film publicity work after making an outright business of Rs.9 crores. Mahadevu shifted the responsibility to his son Manu Gowda. When Manu Gowda was contacted I came to know that he knows nothing about promotional activities. At this time the distributor Prasad was helpful in giving push via publicity for 'Chingari'. Darshan remembered it and further said he had given the call sheet to producer Mahadevu because he lost in the film 'Shishira'.

In the telephonic conversation I lashed at Manu Gowda. It was not in bad interest or to disrespect anyone. It is only in the interest of the film promotional activity remembers Darshan in dejected mood.
