DVV Entertainment Breaks Silence On Prashanth Varma's Advance Controversy

Rumours in the film world are like smoke from a kitchen fire, once it starts, everyone runs to see what’s cooking. That’s what’s been happening with talented director Prashanth Varma lately. After HanuMan turned into a massive hit, whispers started flying that he took big advances from top producers and used that as an investment to set up a fancy studio in Hyderabad. But fresh rumours started brewing that some producers were chasing refunds as they were miffed with the delays. It also has that others wanted him to direct their projects right away. The chatter turned into a full-blown storm online.

And then came the twist. DVV Entertainment decided to step in and clear the air. Putting an end to the rumours, they posted an official statement on their social media page saying all this talk about advances or deals with Prashanth Varma is pure fiction. Producer DVV Danayya himself signed it, writing that there’s been no transaction, no agreement, nothing at all between them and Prashanth Varma. They also requested media outlets and social pages to verify their facts before spreading the rumours. With this official note, DVV pretty much drew a line, making it clear they’re not part of any controversy, especially in Prashanth Varma's case. People inside the industry seem relieved to finally have something official to point to instead of just “heard from someone.”

Prashanth Varma, on his end, has stayed silent so far. Maybe he’s waiting for things to cool down, or maybe he doesn’t feel the need to respond yet. Either way, DVV’s statement has changed the conversation a bit. What looked like a growing fire now feels like it’s losing steam. All said and done, one good film yet again from Prashanth Varma in the lines of HanuMan will change the total narrative around him forever. Let's see if the maverick filmmaker responds through a note or a script.
