‘Don’t blackmail me’ – Puri’s first response

Are the distributors trio trying to blackmail Puri in order to cover their losses? That’s what Puri says regarding the ongoing fight with the distributors of ‘Loafer’ Naama Abhishek, Kaali Sudheer and one other Muthyala Ramdas.

He alleges that they are making this drama only to make him responsible and cover their losses by making him sign their films and get him into their trap. The director says he will not fall for their whims and hence not going to budge to their blackmail.

Puri is ready to work with C.Kalyan because he is the producer and do anything for him but not for the blackmailing distributors. Further he claims that he reduced his remuneration to minimal to Rs.1 crore already and hence there is no necessity for him to be held responsible for their losses.

Puri also talks about the faulty system of billing in single theatres, where is there is no computerised billing. Is Puri’s issue really throwing light on many discrepancies in the industry?
