Jr NTR seems to be going through a lean phase in his career. His previous movie Ramayya Vasthavayya was a disaster and he needs a very big hit to come back to stardom.
Thanks to the incredible craze among masses, one big hit could change NTR's situation and so he'd concentrated so much on Rabhasa. But the project has been encountering problem one after the other. After many hiccups NTR Rabhasa all set to hit screens on August 29 and here comes one more hurdle for film release.
In what we call a shocking update, Manchu lakshmi Prasanna employees staged a protest against producer Bellamkonda Suresh. According to sources Bellamkonda Suresh owes Rs.58 lakh payment to Manchu Entertainment Ltd owned by Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna for using Gandharva Mahal set owned by Manchu family. Bellamkonda Suresh allegedly has done his Rabhasa shooting at the part at a studio of Lakshmi Prasanna pictures and paid nothing in return.
Bellamkonda Suresh promised Lakshmi to clear the rent due once shooting completes. However, Rabhasa is ready to hit the screens and Suresh hasn't yet paid the rent. Because of payment issue now the staff of Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna have staged a 'dharna' reportedly at the house of Bellamkonda Suresh.
The angry protesters vowed to halt the release of film until the dues are cleared. Tempers flared at the spot and police entered the scene. Arguments raised loud noise and Manchu Lakshmi has reportedly lodged a complaint against Bellamkonda with Film Chamber regarding the issue.
While Suresh claims that he doesn't have money but his son Sai Sreenivas's second film is to be launched today morning. There are times when rumors popped on Bellamkonda defaulted on payment for many technicians and even Rabhasa director Santosh Srinivas also is said to be the top sufferer! Wait to see how it goes.
