Director Puri Jagan pledged to take the support of star heroes and directors to fight against distributors who are asking them to return money. Director Teja, a former associate of Puri's guru Ram Gopal Varma, has however found fault with this.
"When movie making costs are shot up due to sky-high remunerations of directors and heroes, whom will distributors and producers ask to return money in the case of losses?" asks Teja, as he takes the side of distributors. He found fault with pale content of films and dubbed cost failure as the prime reason for suffering of distributors.
None would expect Teja to take distributors side, but the director claimed, "I'm the first director to return remuneration in Tollywood. Did that when my film Dhairyam failed to click".
