- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,February 27 2018]
The noted producer of Kannada cinema with a series of hits Kanakapura Srinivas has come out strongly on the rumor spread on ‘Bhajari’ collection.
It is not Rs.50 crores collection. It is a ‘Bogus figure’. Such speculations are made to increase the remunerations but it is a wrong message to the actual producer. Unnecessarily the answers have to be given to the income tax officials say Srinivas looking worried while answering on this rumor.
As a producer what I tell is correct figure. For Rs.17 crore budget the collection is Rs.20 crores plus. I have made a profit of Rs.3 crores and nothing else related to ‘Bharjari’ investment and return. I do not give bogus figures in my film career as producer he adds.
On the litigation related to ‘Dhana Kayonu’, Srinivas says the case is going. I asked for three months time. Director Yogaraj Bhat was first given Rs.90 lakhs and only Rs.15 lakhs was balance. Yogaraj Bhat assured Rs.2.25 crores as TV right for the film. I got one crore less. It was not in writing. It was just belief says Kanakapura Srinivas. Let the case go on he adds on this litigation with Yogaraj Bhat.
On his next film it will be either Yash or Dhruva Sarja. AP Arjun will be director. I have given advance to nearly eight directors. I have dates of challenging star Darshan also he says.
I have not deceived anyone. For all those I have given job they have prospered in their life. I have many such records in my memory. The front line heroes should take up 2 to 3 films a year to support the exhibition system and market observes senior producer Srinivas.
