'DevaDas' Theatrical Rights were sold out for fancy prices by Ashwini Dutt but the multi-starrer failed to meet the expectations. It ended up falling well short of the break-even. At that time, The Producer had offered written assurance to the Buyers over the compensation of losses incurred by them. Till date, No such settlement was done by the production house.
As 'Maharshi' which is co-produced by Ashwini Dutt is gearing up for release, Buyers of 'DevaDas' have been now tightening the screws. Already, The issue has been raised in exhibitors and distributors associations. Few Distributors are mulling to take up the issue to the notice of Film Chamber. In East Godavari, A resolution was passed not to allow the release of 'Maharshi' until the dues were settled.
Finally, Ashwini Dutt intervened to settle the issue. He asked the Buyers of 'DevaDas' to reach Hyderabad to discuss about the amicable solution. Will the Producer be able to clear all the hurdles for 'Maharshi' by May 9th?
