Our source reports there is dissatisfaction brewing on the sets of Krishna Productions’ Athidhi. The saying ‘Ghar ki murgi daal baraabar’ is no longer applicable these days. Every penny counts and if you have a star who is your very own and is working for your home production, you don’t tend to become lackadaisical in your work and get very careful with the money. You want the best for the hero and you want the banner to get a profitable output from the stipulated budget. Coming straight to the point, the info is director Surender Reddy is unhappy because he is not provided with the necessary paraphernalia by the producer-Ramesh Babu. On one occasion Mahesh Babu was supposed to be so upset that he walked off from the sets.
Ramesh Babu as a producer might have been vigilant and must have tightened the purse strings when he felt certain things were not necessary. He had lost a lot on Arjun and might have felt that it’s time to take stock of the situation. His brother Mahesh who is known for his uncompromising stance when it comes to production values is placed in a piquant situation. He can’t say anything to his brother and on the other hand can’t do away with what’s necessary for the film. He is one who places implicit faith and trust, gives in to the director’s demand. If this is true, we hope this minor issue is resolved for the well-being of everyone involved.
