Actress Sreedevi approaching Mumbai Producers Council filing a case on ‘Puli’ producers for non-payment of her remaining remuneration has come like sensational news in Kollywood and Bollywood. In retaliation, ‘Puli’ producers requested Nadigar Sangham to mediate in the issue and solve it amicably. As per an official statement from PT Selva Kumar and Thameens, in turn Sreedevi owes them money but not the other way.
‘We paid Sreedevi whatever was signed in the agreement. We suffered losses and her presence hasn’t come to any use in Hindi version. Boney Kapoor insisted us to release the film in Hindi because of good market for Sreedevi. For this, we paid her 20 percent of Hindi satellite rights. Boney Kapoor took that money directly from Hindi buyer Manish. As the film was released in various other languages, Boney Kapoor forced us to give extra remuneration. For Telugu version dubbing, she took additional 15 Lakhs.
When there were three costume designers working on ‘Puli,’ both Sreedevi and Boney hired Manish Malhotra and we paid 50 Lakhs more for him and then additional 8 Lakhs for marketing designer of Hindi version. Despite spending so high, she did not even attend our audio launch events. Anyways, we will negotiate with Sreedevi and close the problem peacefully,’ they informed.
