Harish Shankar Is Ready Any Day To Fight Chota K Naidu's Claims!

The differences between director Harish Shankar and cinematographer Chota K Naidu is out in the media. Recently, the veteran cinematographer made some comments on Harish Shankar claiming that the director got involved in his work a lot during the filming of 'Ramayya Vastavayya'. He added that despite his constant attempts to convince him, Harish did not listen and Chota K Naidu apparently gave in to Harish's inputs all the time.

Responding to this, Harish Shankar released an official statement. He says, “For my dear Chota K Naidu, It has been a decade since Ramayya Vastavayya was released. You have given ten interviews in this span and I gave over hundred interviews. I never discussed about you in any of my interviews. But you have insulted me in your interviews. There was a situation and discussion about your replacement. But I completed my film with you.”

He added, “Though Ramayya Vastavayya did not live up to the expectations, I never blamed you or your work. I was hurt with your words and I am writing this letter after my friends questioned my self respect. I request you to leave this matter here. Else, I am ready for an open debate on any platform.”

He stated that Chota K Naidu talked about him despite the interviewer not mentioning his name. He added that he learnt a few things due to Chota's experiences which is why he had respect towards the cinematographer. He politely asked him to back off and we need to see when this statement leads to.

Harish Shankar is currently working on 'Mr Bachchan'. He will resume working on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' once Pawan is free from his political commitments. On the other hand, Chota K Naidu is working as the DOP of Chiranjeevi's fantasy film 'Vishwambhara'.
