Kasthuri Raja & Natti Kumar take a dig at one another
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 15 2012]
Â3Â doesnÂt cease to make headlines, be it for good reasons or bad. Following the ÂKolaveriÂ
 popularity, the film was in news for a Ârift between Dhanush and Aishwarya and now for the reported losses Â3 distributors are seeing.
Kasthuri Raja, DhanushÂs father and the filmÂs producer, has been facing severe allegations from Natti Kumar, who bought the Telugu rights of the film. Natti had been demanding compensation from Raja for the huge losses incurred. Hitting back at the allegations and terming them as ridiculous, Raja said that there was no truth in NattiÂs words.
Kasthuri Raja stated that NattiÂs cheques were bouncing and it was he who suffered a loss, ÂEven the cops are laughing away at NattiÂs baseless complaints. If he continues to bring my name and that of my son and daughter-in-law, I will have no option but to file a defamation suit against himÂ.
Natti Kumar instantly shot back on Kasthuri RajaÂs much-publicized public warning last Saturday. The producer came out before the media with full evidence of the agreements clinched with Raja and alleged that he was parroting lies at the request of a very noted film personality. In a detailed rebuttal, Natti elaborated on what had transpired between him and the producer.
He was visibly miffed with RajaÂs calling him a comedian. However, the controversy around Â3Â is not just about a financial loss. There is definitely something more than what meets the eye, say sources. The film flopped miserably especially in Andhra Pradesh with distributors reportedly suffering a loss of 80%!
