Natti Kumar has ensured that the theatrical release of 'Maa Ishtam'/'Dangerous' is stalled. On Thursday, the financier-producer alleged that Ram Gopal Varma owes him Rs 5.29 Cr.

"I collaborated with RGV for 20 years. He owes me crores of rupees. He told me he will repay the loan Rs 50 lakh at a time before the release of his movies. He later said that he will give me Rs 10 lakh. But he has not honoured the promise and went ahead with the release formalities of 'Dangerous'. That's why I applied for the stay," Natti said. In the past, he also got a stay on the release of 'Ladki', also an RGV film.

On his part, RGV said that his legal team will answer Natti. "I really wonder if Natti Kumar has done anything worthwhile in his life aside from hurling criticisms by holding pressers," RGV said.

RGV clarified that 'Maa Ishtam'/'Dangerous' has been postponed not because Natti went to the court requesting a stay on its release. "I won't be addressing Natti in the future. I won't talk about him any longer," Varma added.
