Choreographer turned actor-filmmaker Raghava Lawrence, who is known for his charity work, has once again shown his big heart and this time, it is for the sake of his film’s producer.
It may be noted that Lawrence’s upcoming film ‘Motta Siva Ketta Siva’ has been lying in cans for more than six months as the producer was unable to clear the finances. A kind-hearted Lawrence has reportedly given back his full remuneration and asked him to release the film first. Interestingly, the man at the receiving end is no small fish but a senior producer, RB Chowdhary.
Going into details, Chowdhary had bought the Tamil remake rights of Kalyanram Nandamuri’s blockbuster film ‘Pataas’ and partnered with another producer named Madan to make ‘Motta Siva Ketta Siva’ with Lawrence in lead. Because of Madan’s inordinate debts, the film stuck in financial issues and Chowdhary struggled alone for long time to release this Lawrence starrer.
Now, as Lawrence has voluntarily returned his remuneration, Chowdhary has announced Feb 17th as the release date. Interestingly, Lawrence’s another film, ‘Siva Linga’ is also releasing on the same date. Shva Linga was earlier slated for Republic Day release but it got postponed then.
As both the films have their share of postponements, producer of neither film is ready to back off from Feb 17 release. Lawrence is reportedly chalking out plans to ensure his films don’t clash at box office.
