'Devil' Director Tries To Explain His Side Of Story!

Within 48 hours, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram's 'Devil' will be hitting the big screens. The promotional content has caught the interest of the public but there were more surprised to see Abhishek Nama being the director apart from being the producer. But the movie had a director before and his named is Naveen Medaram.

He remained silent regarding the whole controversy but he decided to open up and write an emotional note thereby explaining his side of the story. He wrote, "I have dedicated over three years of my unwavering effort to bring 'Devil' movie to life. From conceptualising the script to developing the screenplay, meticulously selecting costumes to fabrics, choosing locations to designing sets, every element of the film beards my personal touch, realising my artistic vision. I shot the entire film for 105 days in various locations like Karaikudi, Vizag and Hyderabad(except for few days of patch work), making 'Devil' truly my own creation. To me its just not a project; it's my baby and no matter whoever says that, it's a film by Naveen Medaram."

He added, "While I have consistently maintained my composure by keeping calm, my silence seems to be misconstrued as a mistake by a few, I want to clarify that I have not committed any wrongdoing in the making of this film. The controversy we face today is a result of taking few careless decisions driven by pure ego and greed. Contrary to the recent reports, I have not taken any legal action against any individual or the film."

Speaking about Kalyan Ram, he stated, "Kalyanram sir kept his heart and soul working tirelessly for this film giving his 100%, I express my sincere gratitude to Kalyanram sir and everyone who supported me during this endeavour. I am confident that 'Devil' will be a blockbuster, I kindly urge everyone to see the film in theatres on 29th December 2023. I have signee a new film and working on a very exciting script, will announce the details soon. Thank you."

Talking about his name not being on the posters, he wrote, "Although I am deeply disheartened by the absence of my directing credit in my own film, I retain the invaluable experience, skill and my confidence. I have always remained focused, composed and persistent throughout my career and I am determined to come back even stronger."
