Dad reacts to VD and Abhishek Nama controversy

Dad reacts to VD and Abhishek Nama controversy. When Vijay Devarakonda got over joyed with the success of his Romantic entertainer Kushi and decided to delight under privileged people by donating Rs1 cr to reach of their families, top producer Abhishek Nama shocked all by demanding Vijay Devarakonda to compensate the distributors for the loses they suffered due to the disaster of his film World Famous Lover.

This resulted in huge controversy and following this, Vijay Devarakonda's father Govardhan Rao reacted on it. He said "We have nothing to do with Abhishek Nama. Being a distributor, he has some dispute with producer K S Rama Rao over losses incurred on World Famous Lover, but he is trying to divert it towards Vijay Deverakonda since he is famous and a soft target. Even though we owe him nothing, we still met Abhishek on humanitarian grounds after the release of the film.

We also told him that we had given up 50% per cent of Vijay’s remuneration for the movie, and didn’t take possession of the flat given by Rama Rao as the film didn’t fare as expected. What is the need for us to compensate distributors for losses? Above all, when Abhishek approached us, Vijay had signed films with top producers Dil Raju, Mythri Movie Makers and Geeta Arts, so we had no dates to spare."

He said "As he was pestering us for a long time, to avoid him diplomatically, we just threw up the names of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Sukumar since we knew that he couldn’t get them. Frankly, Vijay didn’t even know that we were talking to Abhishek Nama, so dragging his name in is unfortunate. If we really owe him any money, he can approach the court of law or trade bodies rather than making silly and baseless allegations against us. These blackmailing tactcs won’t work."

He added "Sunil Narang has a stature and reputation in the industry and we respect him. He used to narrate stories to us after Arjun Reddy and continued to do so until a few months ago. But stories and director were the issues. We would like to work with him, if we get the right script and director. However, with regard to Abhishek Nama, it is a firm ‘No’. He has ulterior motives."
