Director
PN
Sathya
has
earlier
worked
with
actor
Sudeep
in
the
film
Gooli.
Now,
his
second
film
with
him
has
reportedly
been
stalled
temporarily
after
the
producer
N
Kumar,
who
is
a
co-producer
of
Shri
Harikathe,
indefinitely
postponed
the
project.
According
to
sources,
the
producer
is
citing
the
long
shooting
schedule
for
delaying
the
film.
The
film
is
a
remake
of
Ravi
Teja-Ileana's
Telugu
film
Kick.
Sudeep
plays
the
lead
and
Praneetha
Subhash,
who
debuted
through
Darshan's
Porki,
appears
his
live
interest
in
the
film,
which
would
be
directed
by
PN
Sathya
and
produced
by
N
Kumar.
In
December
2009,
it
was
reported
that
it
would
start
shooting
from
January
1.
Now,
director
PN
Sathya,
who
had
holed
up
in
a
hotel
room
for
four
months
to
work
on
the
project,
is
said
to
be
very
upset
over
not
being
paid
for
his
efforts.
Sources
claim
that
N
Kumar
has
not
paid
a
single
rupee
for
the
efforts
of
the
four
months.
However,
it
is
said
that
the
producer
wanted
to
change
the
director,
but
Sudeep
did
not
accept
his
idea.
