Money they say is the root of all problems, they say.

And it is at the controversy surrounding the remake rights of the Telugu mega-hit Arya.

Dil Raju, the producer of the film, is trying to sell the film to a producer in Tamil. But Pemmasani Kishore Babu, another producer, is now claiming that he has been already sold the rights by Raju. The matter is already in a Chennai court and there is an injunction in the whole matter.

Babu claims that he had an oral agreement with Raju on the film. As per that, Babu was to pay half the amount before the film goes on to the floor and half after its release. Babu claims that Raju started demanding the remaining amount immediately, which is against the agreement.

"Now, he is trying to sell the rights to another producer," says Babu.

Dil Raju has a different story to tell. He says there was no commitment from either side. It was just a talk, he says.

But with the Courts stepping in, both the parties are slightly cautious in their comments.

An interesting script sure. Somebody can in fact make a film on the whole thing.
