Hyderabad: If even a superstar like Pawan Kalyan has to approach Movie Artistes Association and Telugu Film Producers Council to recover his balance remuneration reportedly Rs 2 crore plus, imagine the plight of other stars, said veteran filmmaker Dasari to his industry friends.

Even some industry bigwigs expressed their anguish over Producers Council for going slow on leading producer Bogavali Prasad. “Dasari garu was annoyed with the delay and wants immediate action against Bogavali and ensure Pawan Kalyan gets his dues cleared. In fact, Pawan even submitted a cheque issued by Bogavali to movie artistes and producers council but no action yet.

Actually, Pawan has to get more than Rs 3 crore including taxes. Usually, stars give up balance remunerations if their film is a flop, but in this case Atharintiki was one of the biggest hits in Tollywood, so dues is unprofessional,” says a source, close to Dasari, who says that if Pawan wanted to stop the release of Nanaku, he could have moved court and got a stay, rather he mediation by trade bodies.

However, Mohan Vadlapatla, joint secretary, Telugu Film Producers Council rules out any such delay in settling the issue. “We have sent a letter to Bogavali and awaiting his reply. Probably, he is busy with release of his new film “Nanaku..so we have given him some time.

We are expecting his reply in a few days and then will decide our next course of action. However, I don’t think we need to form a co-ordination committee to settle this issue, since Pawan is a big star and Bogavali is a leading producer, so I think they will resolve amicably,” he points out.
