Dhairyam makers go to police
tell a friend

22nd February 2005

With the flop of Dhairyam, the producers and the director are washing the dirty linen in public. The producers and director went on to the extent of lodging complaint in police stations.

Producers demanded 3 crores - Mrs. Teja
Mrs. Srivalli - wife of director Teja - filed a complaint in Jubilee Hills police station that the producers of Dhairyam called her up on 19th February 2005 and threatened to assassinate the entire family of Teja if Teja does not pay up 3 crores. She also mentioned that the producers called her husband Teja up on 14th February and threatened him when he was away in Rajahmundry to shoot for his new film. She also mentioned that a couple of vehicles stopped by at her house and she observed a few people from those vehicles behaving and staring at her house in a suspicious way. Terrified with this event, she had to alert the security guard. Mrs. Srivalli also requested for police protection as there is threat to her family.

Teja fans threatening with calls - VL Sridhar
VL Sridhar - executive producer of Dhairyam - lodged a complaint at Ram Gopal Peta police station about threatening calls from fans of Teja. He also mentioned that Teja shot Dhairyam over-budget by shooting it for many number of days and reshooting a few scenes again and again. Sridhar filed a complaint about the same in AP Film Chamber of Commerce as well. Sridhar handed over the phone numbers and the audio tapes of those calls to police station. Producer Narayana Das said that Teja created obstacles in order to stop the release of Dhairyam film. Narayana Das Narang also said that Teja beaten up production manager Nageswara Rao and another junior artist during the shooting of Dhairyam.

Dasari and Mohan Babu to intervene
Dasari Narayana Rao and Mohan Babu (president of MAA) are briefed up about this issue. They are expected to make a truce between the producers and the director very soon.

Godfather errs
Incidentally Teja is the Godfather of Nitin in film industry (he confirmed the same in an interview to idlebrain.com). He okays the subjects of all Nitin's films. It is sad that Teja erred while making 'Dhairyam' that stars his godson Nitin as hero. At the same time, Sudhakar Reddy - father of Nitin - is one of the producers of Dhairyam.
