Director
Kavitha
Lankesh
has
slammed
at
Master
Manjunath
saying
that
he
is
still
living
in
the
past
and
he
needs
to
grow
up.
Earlier,
in
an
interview
to
the
Bangalore
Mirror,
The
Malgudi
Days
actor
had
expressed
his
disappointment
over
not
getting
due
credit
for
his
father
Shankar
Naga.
He
had
said
that
he
could
file
a
lawsuit
against
Kavitha.
Recently,
producer
Narasimhan
has
put
all
Shankar
and
Kavitha
directed
episodes
of
Malgudi
Days
together
and
released
it
in
DVD
format.
That's
why
the
credit
has
been
given
as
'Directed
by
Kavitha
Lankesh
and
Shankar
Nag'
on
the
DVDs.
But
Manjunath
was
very
upset
over
the
recognition.
Speaking
to
the
Bangalore
Mirror
about
his
claims,
Kavitha
Lankesh
said
that,
Since
Manjunath
doesn't
hold
any
rights
to
RK
Narayan"s
works,
he
cannot
file
a
lawsuit
against
me.
In
fact,
Dev
Anand,
TS
Nagabharana
have
also
done
their
movies
based
on
RKN.
"Can
Manjunath
sue
them?" Kavitha
asks.
Kavitha
said,
"I'm
not
the
producer.
I've
done
the
work
and
they
have
put
my
name.
It's
their
duty
to
give
due
credit
to
Shankar
Naga.
Why
is
he
dragging
in
my
name?
Is
he
a
filmmaker?" She
added,
“Manjunath
is
still
living
in
the
world
of
Malgudi
Days
that
he
was
part
of
30
years
ago.
He
has
to
grow
out
of
it.
Even
Malgudi,
the
people
and
the
place
have
changed.
There
is
a
lot
of
traffic
there
now."
