Con City – Title Teaser (Telugu) | Arjun Das | Anna Ben | Yogi Babu | Sean Roldan | Harish Durairaj

Director A.R. Murugadoss has landed in controversy following a complaint reportedly filed by the producer of Madharaasi. The dispute centers around the film’s sharply escalating budget, which has now become a hot topic within the industry.

As per reports, Murugadoss initially estimated the project at around ₹115 crore. However, by the time the film approached completion, the budget is said to have ballooned to nearly ₹170 crore. The producer has alleged that lack of proper planning and Murugadoss simultaneously working on another project, Sikandar, contributed significantly to the cost overrun.

Disturbed by the unexpected financial burden, the producer approached the Directors and Producers’ Council, seeking compensation of ₹10 crore. The issue was formally discussed, with both parties being called in to resolve the matter amicably.

After deliberations, a compromise was reportedly reached. As part of the settlement, Murugadoss has agreed to provide the story for Ramana 2 (Telugu version) free of cost to the production house. This arrangement is being viewed as a way to balance out the financial strain caused by the budget escalation.
