Chandru Perturbed With Friendship
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,June 14 2010]
The quiet and sensible cameraman with 20 films to his credit from ÂNeela Megha Shama in 2000, Shekar Chandru is perturbed as he did not get the remuneration for his work in ÂCircus that was produced and directed by Dayal Padmanabhan. ÂI was behind ÂCircus holding the camera for more than 40 days doing all the work entrusted. On a friendship note I told director cum producer Dayal Padmanabhan to pay me later the remuneration of Rs.6 lakhs for ÂCircus cinematography. Now even after a year and half he has not paid a single paisaÂ, says Shekar Chandru in a choked voice.
ÂSome time back last year he asked me to cut down the remuneration as he has not made money from ÂCircusÂ. I said you can reduce Rs.1.5 lakh on friendship. ÂCircus starring Golden star Ganesh and Archana Gupta did not bite the fingers for Dayal Padmanabhan according to industry reports. Then how can he forget my remunerationÂ, asks Shekar Chandru.
Shekar Chandru has every reason to smile this week as on this Friday 18th June two of his cinematography films ÂPunda and ÂKrishnan Love Story are releasing all over Karnataka. For ÂPunda (a remake of ÂPolladhavan Tamil movie) Shekar Chandru used 75 percent of night effect.
