Apparently one of the biggest announcements that have come out in the recent times in Tollywood is none other than Dil Raju producing the bilingual sequel of ‘Bharateeyudu’ movie that stunned everyone way back in 1996. It features Kamal Hasan yet again and will be helmed by director Shankar only. Here comes the twist.
Reports are coming out that the producer of Bharateeyudu movie, AM Rathnam, now wants Dil Raju to pay a royalty for using the title and also the combination. While his demand has legal sanctity or not, many are seeing this as a big hurdle for the project to take off. However, Kamal and Shankar are said to be not interested in meeting AM Rathnam’s demands, while Dil Raju is handling the issue amicably.
A known fact is that producer AM Rathnam is in a severe financial crunch and that’s the reason Oxygen movie is not seeing light despite getting wrapped a long time ago. Meanwhile, some say that if the makers go with titles like ‘Kamal’s Bharateeyudu’, then there is no way Rathnam could stop this team. And the problem arises only if similar character names are used now.
On the other side, some media reports have started spreading rumors that the film might get called off due to over costing, but production sources confirmed us that there is nothing such.
